De inlandsche kunstnijverheid in Nederlandsch Indië

Jasper, J. E, Pirngadie, Mas · 1912 · 's-Gravenhage, Mouton & co. · 390 pictures

A Dutch government survey of native crafts in the Netherlands Indies, compiled by J. E. Jasper with drawings by Mas Pirngadie and published in The Hague in 1912 for colonial officials, collectors, and craft schools. The plates record plaiting, weaving, and batik construction as fine pen diagrams: diagonal basket weaves, chevron and lozenge mat patterns, and hatched motif studies that read as ready-made line textures, repeat tiles, and geometric borders.
