JUNGHUHN, Franz Wilhelm. Licht- en schaduwbeelden uit de binnenlanden van Java. Over het karakter, de mate van beschaving, de zeden en gebruiken der Javanen; over de invoering van het Christendom op Java, het bezigen van vrijen arbeid en andere vragen van den dag. Verhalen en gesprekken, tusschen de gebroeders Dag en Nacht , verzameld op reizen door gebergten en bosschen, in de woningen van armen en rijken. 4e herziene druk. Amsterdam, F. Günst, 1866.Later cloth ('boekbinder Hamim Buitenzorg'). With lithographed portrait. 410 pp. The anonymous publication of Images of Light and Shadow from Java's interior, first published in 1854, created a lot of bad feeling which impeded but could not prevent its appearance in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands Indies, the book was what we would now call a best seller. Junghuhn's book was prohibited in Austria and in several German states and principalities because of its alleged 'denigrations and vilifications of Christianity' (Nieuwenhuys, Mirror of the Indies, p.69).

Making the acquaintance of Mr. Temminck, the Treasurer of the Dutch East India Company, he was enabled to proceed to the Cape in one of the Company's ships called the Held-Woltemaade ... The narrative is characterised by the intelligent and interesting manner in which it is written.' (Mendelssohn pp.889-890). He was one of the first to study the birds in South Africa.

He has been called the 'founder of Ethiopian studies in Europe'. Although he never visited the country, Ludolf formed a close working relationship with an Ethiopian monk resident in Rome, himself clearly a highly intelligent man. From this fruitful partnership emerged grammars and dictionaries of the classical Ethiopian language as well as a lengthy history of the country. The large folding map by Tellez, is a landmark of cartography, as it is the first to show the source of the Blue Nile at Lake Tana.

With engraved allegorical title-page, portrait of Francois Lolonois and 18 engraved plates (5 folding) by Jan Luyken and J. Harrewyn. (8),495,(13) pp. First edition. - This book is claimed to be translated from the papers of an English nobleman but according to Tiele it was composed by G. Broekhuizen. ' G. van Broekhuizen, a seventeenth-century translator and publisher from Amsterdam, had read enough travel accounts to be able to compose one himself. Edward Melton's voyage to Egypt, the West Indies, Persia, Turkey, The East Indies and neighbouring regions is pure fiction, but van Broekhuizen inserted enough curiosities to make his book interesting' (Koster, To Hellen's noble land, 32). Muller, at the other hand states ' this description is rendered still more important by the circumstance, that Melton was at New-York in 1668, in the height of the quarrel between England and Holland on the possession of the country, so that he uses the names New York and New-Amsterdam indiscriminately'. 'Exactly who he was, wether he really existed, or if Melton was his real name remains an unsettled problem' (Howgego p.701). The first part is dealing with Egypt. A very detailed description is given in the second part of New Netherland, based on Adriaen van der Donck and Arnoldus Montanus, Virginia, Florida, Cuba, Haiti, Panama and Jamaica; also relating to the buccaneers in the West Indies. The third part is dealing with Persia and Turkey, the fourth with Asia and South Africa. Van Broekhuizen showed a morbid interest in oriental tortures, which he described in detail and of which Jan Luyken presented some vivid illustrations. 'Several of the plates are by the celebrated Jan Luiken and are among his best productions' (Asher 16). - A very fine clean copy.Tiele 738; Cat.
