Reports on the Trade, &c., of the Island of Java. Annual Series. Diplomatic and Consular Reports on Trade and Finance. Netherlands. [For the Years 1896 -1911].

Sixteen Parliamentary reports, tables (one full page highlighted in colour), five large folding ordnance survey maps of Java (in the consecutive reports for 1907-1911), disbound in plain title wrappers, stab sewn, 31.4 x 20.7cm, speckled fore edges, separate pagination (relating to previous compilations) added in manuscript or stamped. A very good clean set. An unbroken run of reports over a lengthy period of marked development. The 1896 Report notes the opening of telephone lines and the launch of works to bring electric light and the succeeding reports quantify change across a range of commodities--including the bumper crop in 1911 of sugar, one of the staple crops. The last two reports are larger and include separate coverage of Macassar and Sumatra.
