Hand-Colored Steel Engraving of Batavia 'Jakarta', Indonesia, Ca.1840

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Batavia'. Steel engraving of Batavia (Jakarta), Indonesia. Originates from 'Meyers Universum'. Artists and Engravers: Joseph Meyer (May 9, 1796 - June 27, 1856) was a German industrialist and publisher, most noted for his encyclopedia, Meyers Konversations-Lexikon.
