Indonesia : Postcard


Indonesia : 500 Early Postcards

by Leo Haks, Steven Wachlin


When Indonesia was known as the Dutch East Indies, images on postcards were often the first views foreigners had of the world's largest archipelago, a fascinating land of rich and astonishing diversity.

The 500 postcards in this book are divided according to seven regions : Sumatra, Java, Bali and the Lesser Sundas, southern Borneo (now Kalimantan), Celebes (Sulawesi), and New Guinea (Irian Jaya) and the Moluccas, with a separate section for the capital, Batavia (Jakarta). They are arranged broadly into town views, landscapes, architecture, portraits, and aspects unique to that particular area.
