Original 1902 antique color lithographed map of the large Indonesian island of Sumatra. The cartography is by George Franklin Cram, and the image area measures 24 x 31.3 cm [9½" x 12¼"]. There is fine historical and ethnographic detail throughout, with hundreds of place names. Longitude is measured from Greenwich and Washington. This map was published during the Aceh War, when Dutch colonial forces were engaged in a conflict with the armies of the sultans of the province of Aceh, at the northern end of the island. The map labels the Strait of Sunda, separating Java and Sumatra, the two main islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Today there are plans to build a bridge connecting Merak Port in western Java with Bakauheni Port in southern Sumatra, a project that was likely not even imagined as a possibility back when this map was printed. This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It would make a great display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference, along with a photocopy of the dated title page from the book in which it was published. Condition: This map is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with wide margins and no marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. Buy with confidence!
