Bibliography: For the Dutch and British officers referred to in the Horsfield and MacKenzie collections, see F. de Haan, 'Personalia der periode van het Engelsch bestuur over Java 1811-1816', ‘Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land-en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch-Indie,’ xcii, 1935, 477-669. Many of the temples, sculpture and bronzes depicted in the Horsfield and MacKenzie collections are illustrated in S. Raffles, ‘History of Java,’ 2 vols. (London, 1817) and in more recent books such as K. With, ‘Java’ (The Hague, 1922); N.J. Krom, ‘Inleiding tot de Hindoe-Javaansche Kunst,’ 3 vols. (The Hague, 1923); R. von Heine-Geldern, ‘Alt Javanische Bronzen’ (Vienna, 1925); H. Zimmer, ‘The Art of Indian Asia,’ 2 vols. (New York, 1955); A.J. Bernet Kempers, ‘Ancient Indonesian Art’ (Cambridge, Mass., 1959).

f.1 (82) The cleaning by Major Cornelius of the ruins of the central temple of Chandi Sewu, Prambanan (Central Java). 1807.

Inscribed on front in ink: ‘View of the Ruins of a Bramin Temple at Brambanang as formd (sic) in the Jaar 1807.’

Note: The four Dutch soldiers who appear in the picture are probably H.C. Cornelius (seated on the right), J.W.B. Wardenaar, J.A. Dubois and A.F. van de Geugten (See WD905). This picture (after the removal of all the figures) seems to have been the basis of the engraving in Raffles, ‘History of Java,’ ii, 2nd plate after 18. A duplicate exists in the British Museum, Raffles Collection, iii, 28. MacKenzie also appears to have had a similar copy for on 6 December 1814 he wrote to Cornelius asking for 'the view of the antiquities of Brambana and the officers and people as employed there, which I saw at Samarang’. (F. de Haan, ‘op cit. 603.)’
