1903LCCDKE4XUWG9Batavia: G. Kolff & Co. 1903. Contemporary brown cloth title in gold decorated endpapers. Folio. With 1 engraved double-page plate 4 lithographed colour-plates and 22 albumen photographs with guard leaves containing text. 2 works in 1 volume. Rare first and only edition of a report on the investigation of tea cultivation and production in Assam India and Ceylon. The Dutch cultural association Cultuur Maatschappij in Palakan-Salak asked H.J.Th. Netscher and Alexander Albert Holle to investigate the Assam and Ceylon tea cultivation and production with regard to the economic position of Java tea in the world market. Netscher and Holle had their investigations on tea cultivation and culture in British India and Ceylon printed but never put them on the market merely giving some copies to parties concerned with the tea industry. They gave the present copy to Norbert Pieter van den Berg head agent of the Dutch East Indian commercial bank at Batavia and president of the Javanese bank. The report discusses various aspects of tea and its cultivation including the geographic dissemination different kinds of tea seeds the conservation of tea seeds the process of drying tea leaves and the arrangement of tea factories. But the book also describes some remarkable things that caught Netscher and Holles attention of during their journey. They write for example about sugar and elephants. Nevertheless the main purpose of their report was to gather information on British-Indian tea cultivation especially regarding competion on the world market.The 22 albumen photographs in the present copy inserted through the whole book show mainly the tea gardens of Assam and Ceylon but also elephants and landscapes Netscher and Holle saw on their journey. A sign for that at least some of these photographs are contemporary is that they refer to their own train on one of the pictures. These pictures give this extensive and important report on tea cultivation enriching insights into the tea cultivation in British-India and Ceylon ca. 1900.Presentation copy from the Cultuur Maatschappij Parakan-Salak to Norbert Pieter van den Berg with some bolts at the end of the book unopened.

1699ABC_47411Jaffanapatnam Ceylon 1699. Folded and kept together by an orange white and blue piece of string in the left margin 1.5 cm from the edge of the leaves in the middle. Folio 33 x 21 cm. The Dutch letter is written in a neat late 17th-century cursive hand in brown ink. Contemporary copy Copia perhaps by Schenkenberg himself or by his secretary including the address on the first leaf: Rotterdam./ Aenden Edelen Heer./ Harmen van Zoelen/ oud burgermeester der stadt/ en Bewinthebber vande Oostindische/ Comp. ter Camer Aldaar.Very interesting letter by the Director commandeur of the fort and Dutch East India Company VOC station Jaffanapatnam on the northern-most coast of Ceylon now: Sri Lanka facing the Coromandel coast of India. The fort was captured from the Portuguese by Rycklof van Goens in the 1630s and was an important stronghold for the VOC presence on Ceylon during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The letter offers clear insight in the VOC policy regarding appointments nominations and commissions as well as for the required qualifications and salaries for the various functions. The letter also shows how important family ties recommendations and even favouritism and nepotism were in these matters.Matthaeus Schenkenberg was born in Batavia in 1667 as son of Hendrik Schenkenberg and Henrietta Chasteleyn. He writes that after having been chief-merchant opperkoopman for eight years he had been appointed by the high command at Batavia the hooge regeering director commandeur of the fort Jaffanapatnam Jaffna in June 1698 as the successor of Hendrik Swaardecroon with a monthly salary of 120 guilders for five years. Hardly a year after this appointment he is already dissatisfied - one of his predecessors Floris Blom who was director from 1669-1693 earned 150 guilders - and he is seeking for a following step in his career. Thats why he is writing this letter to his uncle Harmen van Zoelen or Soelen; ca. 1635-1702 hoping to be helped into a better job: a good move because Van Zoelen was one of the directors of the VOC chamber in Rotterdam and burgomaster of that city.Which is why he asks his uncle to put in a good word for him in order to obtain an appointment as for instance Governor of places like Macassar Celebes Ambon or Banda island between Sumatra and Malacca. Indeed Mattheus Schenkenberg was appointed Governor of Banda where he ultimately died on 14 June 1709 his tomb is still in existence.With faint folding lines and some pencil annotations on the first and last pages small wormholes in the left inner margins of the leaves very slightly affecting the text but not its legibility the edges are very slightly frayed and the last page is slightly browned.

1800ABC_47410Ceylon Sri Lanka and the Netherlands 1800. Contemporary decorated paper wrappers. 8vo 16.5 x 10.5 cm. Written in a late 18th-century or early 19th-century cursive in French and Dutch. With: 2 MANUSCRIPT - FRENCH & DUTCH POEMS AND SONGS. Quelques Chansons. Ad 1: An interesting manuscript probably written by a Dutch person in the service of the VOC Dutch East-India Company during the time the VOC had trading stations and later was ruling Sri Lanka until 1802. Remarkably the majority of the birds snakes and other animals described here are described by the same indigenous names as those used by Jacob Haafner in his Reize te voet door het eiland Ceilon 1754. The birds other animals plants and trees described include: a "kiroudin" a kind of eagle or harrier native to the Malabar coast the "pambou-rajah of konigs slang" poisonous "Royal" snake a "rollewaijs" a Rollewai a kind of bat typical for Ceylon the "tijger-royal" Royal tiger the "anacondo" an anaconda or water boas a large snake a "alamaram/wortelboom" mangrove tree the "ananas" pineapple the "casjou" cashew nut and "mangas" mangos among many others. Ad 2: A manuscript written in French and Dutch consisting of thirteen humorous poems and songs in French and Dutch. This part was probably added a few decades after the text on the natural history of Ceylon by the same author possibly after their return to the Netherlands. It is written in a later hand upside down and back to front from p. 28 to p. 15: 6 humorous poems in French: "Le vaillant troubadour" "Romance" in 3 stanzas "Romance de la petite Condrille" in 3 stanzas no title in 3 stanzas no title in 5 stanzas and 7 humorous poems in Dutch: "Toverfluit" "Oost-Indië boven" a riddle "De schrandere priester" "De getrouwe raad" "De gereede raadgever" and finally "De predikant en de dorpsschout".With manuscript annotations on the wrappers mainly repeats of the supposed title: "Quelques Chansons". The wrappers show clear signs of wear with some paper loss to the spine and edges of the wrappers. With manuscript writing exercises and an excerpt of a French text on the paste-downs/inside of the wrappers. Otherwise in good condition.l cf. Valentijn V 1726 pp. 50-54. unknown
