De batik-kunst in Nederlandsch-Indië en haar geschiedenis
A Dutch-language study of batik art in the Dutch East Indies and its history, published in Utrecht in 1914 by Gerrit Pieter Rouffaer, a scholar writing for collectors and textile specialists. Its colour plates and line drawings show batik cloths and patterns in brown, indigo and cream. A designer could draw on the repeating geometric medallions, diagonal stripe borders and stylised floral and bird motifs as ready-made pattern structures.
