This 1857-1859 lithograph by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Steendrukkerij van C.W. Mieling depicts the Siege of Batavia by the King of Java in 1628. The detailed map of Batavia, now Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the fortified city and surrounding landscape. It includes a compass, scale, and numerous notations identifying the key locations and participants in the historical siege. The artwork, held by the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document and visual representation of the Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia.
