Album of 82 drawings made under the supervision of MacKenzie depicting antiquities in Java. 1811-13. Artist(s): MacKenzie, Colin (1754-1821)
- Scope & Content:
-
'Book 20'. 82 drawings (99 folios) made under the supervision of MacKenzie depicting antiquities in Java. 1811-13.
All except six (nos 18, 42-45, 82) are duplicates of drawings in WD953. WD953 appears to contain the original sketches, often made on the spot in 1812 (compare inscriptions on WD953 (17) and WD954 (16)), while WD954 appears to contain fair copies prepared for the printer. This volume, in fact, includes the final version of the illustrations to 'Narrative of a journey to examine the remains of an ancient city and temples at Brambana in Java', ‘Verhandelingen Bataviaasch Genootschap,’ vii, 1814, part 9, 1-53. MacKenzie Collection 'Private' 36, 99-126, and MacKenzie Collection 'Private' 82, 323-51, are manuscript versions of this 'Narrative'. The illustration numbers in 'Private' 36 refer to the red ink numbers in this volume WD954. Other drawings of Singasari and Chandi Sewu were probably illustrations to the descriptions of these temples in 'Private' 36, 127-38 and 139-53.
