About the Item
Anjer, Sunda Strait, North Coast of Java – 19th Century Lithograph with Ships at Anchor
This evocative maritime scene, identified as plate 7 from the rare folio 'Java, naar schilderijen en teekeningen van A. Salm', depicts the coastal town of Anjer (also known as Anyer) on the northwestern tip of Java, overlooking the famed Sunda Strait before the Krakatoa or Krakatau erupted in 1883. Lithographed by J.C. Greive Jr. after a painting by Abram Salm and published by Frans Buffa & Zonen in Amsterdam (circa 1865–1872), this composition captures a serene moment on calm waters, with several ships riding at anchor in the early light of day or perhaps just before dusk.
The central focus of the lithograph is a tall three-masted square-rigged vessel, its sails partly set or lowered, while a fleet of smaller schooners or barques floats to its right, their elegant outlines reflected in the gently rippling sea. Behind them rises the prominent volcanic peak of the Karang mountain range, rendered with soft contours and a golden wash of sunlight, providing dramatic backdrop and depth to the coastal panorama.
Anjer held strategic significance during the colonial period as a maritime outpost and anchorage for ships transiting between Batavia and the wider Indian Ocean. This calm and balanced composition elegantly records not only the natural beauty of the Javanese coastline but also the importance of maritime commerce and Dutch naval presence in the East Indies.
Abram Salm, a Dutch settler and self-taught artist who lived in Java for nearly 30 years, infused his landscapes with firsthand observation. His watercolors and paintings were transformed into chromolithographs of the highest quality by J.C. Greive Jr., a master of the technique. The hand-finishing evident in this edition enhances the subtle hues of sky and sea, lending the image a warm, painterly glow.
This lithograph is a quintessential 19th-century Dutch colonial maritime scene—both historically significant and visually refined—ideal for collectors, curators, or maritime art enthusiasts.
Condition report:
The print is in very good condition. The image area is clean with vivid color retention, especially in the sky and water tones. The paper mount shows light foxing and very minor age-related toning, but no tears or significant damage. The original printed title ticket is intact and affixed to the lower right of the mount.
Framing suggestion:
To highlight the luminous tones and maritime ambiance of this print, consider a deep blue or neutral linen mat with a slim teak, walnut, or dark wood frame. The calm sea and golden sky benefit from museum glass with UV protection to preserve the subtle hand-applied color and prevent fading over time.
