A selection of Smend's considerable collection of Indonesian batiks is depicted in 71 good quality color plates. The catalogue, which is directed mainly at an audience of collectors, contains informal essays on Smend and collecting and a short essay on the batiks of Java. Many b&w historical photos are included of Indonesians wearing these remarkable fabrics; one wishes some information about the people and their culture had been included in the text. Text in German and english.
