Antique Map of Buru Island, Indonesia, c.1725
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Boero'. Original antique map of Buru island. With an inset of the lake on top of the inland mountain. This map originates from Valentyn's 'Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien', ca. 1725.
Buru (formerly spelled Boeroe, Boro, or Bouru) is the third largest island within Maluku Islands of Indonesia. It lies between the Banda Sea to the south and Seram Sea to the north, west of Ambon and Seram islands. During former president Suharto's New Order administration in the 1960s–1970s, Buru was the site of a prison used to hold thousands of political prisoners. While held at Buru, writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer wrote most of his novels, including Buru Quartet.
Artists and Engravers: Published by Joannes van Braam and Gerard onder de Linden (Dordrecht and Amsterdam).
