Map of Indonesia, Semarang, Kartasoera, Soerabaya by Schley

About the Item

'Carte du Chemin entre Samarang et Cartasoera, kaart van den weg tusschen Samarang en Cartasoera' Map of the Road between Semarang and Kartasura by Van Schley. Published 1763. Semarang is the capital and largest city of Central Java province in Indonesia. It was a major port during the Dutch colonial era, and is still an important regional center and port today. On 5 October 1705 after years of occupations, Semarang officially became a VOC city when Susuhunan Pakubuwono I made a deal to give extensive trade rights to the VOC in exchange of wiping out Mataram's debt. The VOC, and later, the Dutch East Indies government, established tobacco plantations in the region and built roads and railroads, making Semarang an important colonial trading centre.
