Original 1893 antique color lithographed map of the island of Java, printed more than 125 years ago.

• The cartography is by George Franklin Cram, and the image area measures 21.5 x 30.5 cm [8½" x 12"].



• There is fine historical and ethnographic detail throughout, with hundreds of place names. Longitude is measured from Greenwich and Washington.



• The map labels the Strait of Sunda, separating Java and Sumatra, the two main islands in the Indonesian archipelago.



• Today there are plans to build a bridge connecting Merak Port in western Java with Bakauheni Port in southern Sumatra, a project that was likely not even imagined as a possibility back when this map was printed.



• This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine.



• It would make a great display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference, along with a photocopy of the title page from the book in which it was published.



• Condition:  This map is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with wide margins and no marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.



• There is a map of Japan on the reverse side.
