This detailed map of Java, created by an anonymous artist between 1812 and 1826, showcases the island’s geography and political boundaries. The map's intricate details, including rivers, mountains, and coastal features, provide a valuable historical record of Java's landscape. The inclusion of smaller inset maps further enriches the viewer's understanding of the island's complex topography. This cartographic work, measuring 455 mm in height and 1170 mm in width, stands as a testament to the cartographic artistry of the early 19th century.
