De batik-kunst in Nederlandsch-Indië en haar geschiedenis

Rouffaer, G. P. (Gerrit Pieter), 1860-1928 · 1914 · Utrecht : A. Oosthoek · 2 pictures

A Dutch-language scholarly study of batik art in the Dutch East Indies and its history, written by G. P. Rouffaer and published in Utrecht by A. Oosthoek in 1914. Its pages carry bilingual Dutch and German captions for plates and a clean typeset layout with a decorative cliché border. A designer might take from it the restrained typography of early twentieth-century scholarly plates and the stylised scroll-and-curl motifs of batik patterns, shown as printed blocks rather than full colour.
