Title: Barabudur. Vol. I. Archaeological description. Plate-volume 1. [English edition].
Description: The Hague, Martinus Nijhoff, 1927. 1 plate-volume (of 2). No text. 1 plate-volume containing photolithographed plates, engraved plates and folded plans. H.cloth (elephant) portfolio. - Spine with some shelfwear; title-page browned; frontcover sl. spotted.* Extremely scarce work on the most important monument of Indonesia. The description is (in its totality) divised in two volumes containing a archaeological and a architectural description of the monument. The archaeological description was written by N.J. Krom and was published as two plate-volumes (thus plate-volume I & II) and one text-volume. The Architectural description was written by T. van Erp and published in one plate-volume (thus plate-volumes III) and one text-volume. The text of the complete work was divised in two volumes. The paper inner-portfolio's that divised the various sections in the Dutch version were never published for the English version, thus not present. The English edition is even more scarce because it was published in a limited edition of 100 numbered copies, instead of the 200 copies published in Dutch. This is only one plate-volume (of two plate-volumes) that was published as the archeological description (Volume I), thus not containing the seperate text-volume nor plate-volume 2.
