70 miscellaneous sketches of portraits, antiquities and everyday scenes in a scrap-book (153 folios), Java and Banka, 1800-1818. Some of the drawings are by Horsfield himself, others by his draftsmen, and a few from other sources. ff.10 and 28 are by A.A.J. Payen. The sketches of tin-mining were made in Banka between 1812 and 1813.

Inscribed on title page in ink: ‘Scrapbook of Miscellaneous Sketches (many loose) Java.’

Pencil, pen-and-ink, wash and water-colour, size of volume 13 by 10 ins.

Presented by Thomas Horsfield, c.1820.

Note: Payen was born in Brussels and worked in Indonesia for eleven years. About 1828 he returned to Europe and painted in the Hague, going back to Belgium in 1838. His Indonesian landscapes are in the Leiden Museum.
