Thank you very much for presenting this little known work here, I look forward to seeing how the thread develops.

Kai, thank you for the PDF file too. Question, I can only see three plates in the PDF? Roland presents more. is the full work available on PDF?

With thanks

Gavin

Hello Gevin,

I have two books, one about the Batak-lands, the other one about the Gajo-lands. The pdf contains only part one.

My pictures are fastly made with a camera, if the pictures are really useful, I can make high quality scans from them.

Roland

Hello Gavin,

Yes, the PDF has the Batak pieces from volume 1 only. I believe Arjan had a PDF with the pertinent plates from volume 2 (Gayo/Alas), too. It's certainly worth checking out his downloads...

I have only found the second volume online (scanned from a recent facsimile reprint):

Here is a link to the first volume (Batak):

Original copies of both volumes are usually quite expensive.

For those who would like an affordable working copy, there are facsimile reprints available: Literaricon Verlag has both volumes (reprint 2015) and there are at least 2 other publishers also offering volume 2 (reprint 2013 and 2014). I can't vouch for the printing quality though.

I don't want to post any commercial links; if you have problems finding these online, just drop me a line...

Regards,
Kai

Hello Detlef,

Nice examples!

I'd suggest to discuss pieces that are not connected to the expeditions by Volz in separate threads though...

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai,

yes, they are good honest examples and Roland ask for pictures. I doubt that they are worth for an own thread!?

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef,

Sure, any genuine ethnographic piece is worthy of a dedicated discussion - not only high-end stuff!

(BTW, the Karo kalasan with silver/suasa definitely is an above-average example.)

Regards,
Kai
