Elephant folio. - Small stain on front-cover; outer-joints sl. worn. * One plate-volume (thus not containing the text-volume) from the extremely scarce work (complete set consits of 2 volume in 5 parts) on the most inportant monument of Indonesia: Barabudur. 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. This is only the plate-volume of volume II, thus not containing the accompanying text-volume.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.
