Japanese lacquered accordion folded album 20 x 15.5 cm. lacks one of two ivory faces else corners a bit rubbed contains 47 b.w. photos each ca. 14 x 8 cm.some a bit larger/smaller all clean excellent images. OBSCURE ! The album has a penned dedication and presentation inside the front cover reading: "To Cousin Percy with love from Alfred & Thirza In Memory of Happy Days spent in Japan. Yokohama March 2nd 1912." This lovely album documents a journey by steam ship to Batavia Java then on to Rangoon Burma. The photographs are mostly about postcard size and are very clean and sharp images. The photographic development process left a silver tinge to these photographs when slightly bent it becomes more obvious. There is no fading whatsoever each image is strong clear and with good contrast. The photographs are mostly about postcard size and are very clean and sharp images. A good number of the photographs have pencil notations on the verso telling where and who is depicted in the photograph. The story unfolds with the inscription and then shows Mr. & Mrs. MacNarma sitting in the garden of the Netherlands Hotel Batavia Java with one more view of others sitting in the garden.

Native bullock cart ship-board poses arrival at what appears to be Thailand and its shrines. Mansion Hotel Rangoon with their dancing girls show Rangoon park Rangoon Street scene and British-buildings natives and the Rangoon Great Pagoda. CONDITION: The album is constructed of very firm stiff board with four corners cut into the card to allow the insertion of photographs. The hinges are very solid and the whole is solid and not loose or otherwise shaken. A lovely example. THE PHOTOGRAPHS: The photographs were placed into the album by its former owner or photographer we have removed each to read the captions for cataloging and replaced them in the exact order they were found. Some seem to be out of place in that they are mixed up according to place and not all in a logical order. Regardless they remain "as is" for any future researcher to make more sense of them. Some have no captions at all. There are other captions below some of the photos in pencil on the album pages perhaps place there later we do not know. There remains a few pages on both sides of the double-sided album that have no photographs this is near the end. By and large a nice example of foreigners taking a nice journey to the Exotic South East Asian area and documenting their visit with photographic memories. Albums of this period with such excellent photographic images so well preserved are unusual and seldom found on the market. . unknown

Historically significant collection of original photographs documenting the construction and early operations of a factory in the Dutch East Indies – most likely the sugar factory complex in Djatiroto Jatiroto Lumajang Regency in East Java. Built and owned by the Dutch “Handelsvereeniging Amsterdam” company HVA in ca. 1905-1910 the complex covered the “area of approximately 215 hectares” with “the actual factory surrounded by the factory office the repair workshop and the large warehouse <…> the marshalling yard with the locomotive shed and the field for the trains of the company that transports sugar cane from the fields which includes coal and water reservoirs weighbridges and central switch control” in translation See: Een suikerfabriek op Java// Neerlandia: Organ van het Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond. Vol. 13 No. 8 Aug. 1909 p. 183. The factory buildings housed the mill and boiler installations laboratory and sugar storage juice processing equipment centrifuges and sugar dryer. The complex also included residences for European officials dwellings for the Javanese workers a hospital a club and a hotel. Sugar cane was brought from the enterprise fields by small trains; the final product left the facility via the specially constructed train station See: Een suikerfabriek op Java… pp. 183-186. The complex was considered one of the most modern sugar factories in the Dutch East Indies see also: Geuns M. van. De suikeronderneming Djatiroto en de regeling van het werkcontract op Java. Soerabaya 1908. The album opens with a portrait of European administrators posing on a train platform driven by a small locomotive through a sugar cane field. Similar locomotives were used on the Djatiroto complex. Six images show the interior of the factory buildings machinery and workers. There are also images of an unfinished rail track earthworks a dam construction with a pencil caption “Dam rechteroever Djatiroto” and an ink-stamped date “18 Nov. 1907” European administrators posing in a partly-cleared forest area a side of a settlement for Javanese workers note a waving Dutch flag on a decorated pole and a railway station which looks very similar to the Djatiroto station see a photo from a 1917 keepsake album available online. The album also includes several portraits or scenes with Javanese people and the compiler and his family. Three photos at the rear are captioned “Portsmouth Dominica” and “Bridgetown Barbados” – they were possibly taken on the compiler’s educational trip to the Caribbean undertaken to study the local sugar cane industry and technologies. Overall an interesting collection of original photos of a Dutch sugar-processing facility in East Java in the early 20th century. hardcover
