About

Jean Demmeni (1866 - 1939) was a well-known photographer and amateur painter and draughtsman, who travelled all over the Archipelago. His extensive photographic achievement is an important documentation of Indonesia in the first quarter of this century.

Demmeni's work provides a comprehensive record of the Indonesian islands at the turn of the century, unmatched in its singular insights into that era's peoples, cultures and natural features. This volume celebrates the wonders of the Indonesian archipelago and its cultures. This book has been designed to enable readers to accompany Demmeni vicariously on an eye-opening expedition through some of the world's most fabled lands.
