Hi Maurice,

thank's for sharing. Is there any titel or description? The picture is a little bit disturbing since I see Nias warriors and also javanese people on the picture.

Yes, it does seem a bit of a cultural mix, but still very cool print. :)

Nice. Are the colors accurate?

Indeed a cultural mix as David pointed out allready.
I clearly see Nias people, a warrior from Timor if I am not mistaken (left of the Nias warriors), in the back to the right a warrior from Celebes/Sulawesi (if I'm right).
The fourth man could be a negrito maybe?
And also some people which are hard to tell exactly where they are coming from. Looks like java, sumatra, and?????

I liked the image, and I stumbled on it on the internet.
It was described as following:
Original chromolithograph by Armand, Amsterdam from Nederlandsch Oost-Indie by P.A. van der Lith, published in Doesborgh, 1875

I don't know who is Armand, but I try to find out yet...

All women, but again with the cultural mix...
