Bijdragen tot de kennis der residentie Ternate

Clercq, F. S. A. de (Frederik Sigismund Alexander), 1842-1906 · 1890 · Leiden, E.J. Brill · 4 pictures

A Dutch colonial ethnographic survey of the Ternate residency in the Moluccas, compiled by F. S. A. de Clercq and published in Leiden by E. J. Brill in 1890, aimed at scholars and colonial administrators. Its plates record local textiles, woven baskets, and flags with careful flat colour and measured scale notes, offering a designer strong examples of geometric lattice, scroll, and stripe patterns drawn from non-European craft.
