Indonesia : 500 Early Postcards.

From the "blurb" we cite:
"When Indonesia was known as the Dutch East Indies, images on postcards were often the first views foreigners had of the world's largest archipelago, a fascinating land of rich and astonishing diversity.
The 500 postcards in this book are divided according to seven regions: Sumatra, Java, Bali and the Lesser Sundas, southern Borneo (now Kalimantan), Celebes (Sulawesi), and New Guinea (Irian Jaya) and the Moluccas, with a separate section for the capital, Batavia (Jakarta). They are arranged broadly into town views, landscapes, architecture, portraits and aspects unique to that particular area.
An attractive and nostalgic record in themselves, postcards of Indonesia are also a largely untapped resource for those interested in archaeology, architecture, textile design and town planning. Deltiologists will particularly appreciate the inclusion of information such as cancellation date, publisher, series, and photographer or artist.
The postcard shown on the left depicts an anonymous photographer on location, the authors tribute to the many photographers who took the images in this book."
