First edition. Four double-page chromolithographs. A fine copy in original yellow printed wrappers, unopened. 92pp. [Leiden, A lovely copy of this uncommon work set entirely in Javanese type. This adventure story is illustrated by four plates depicting a European hunter on a verandah with friends, hunting a tiger, observing houn…ds chasing a boar and servants carrying home a deer.The author was the great grandson of Lubertus Vermehr, a VOC captain. Vermehr's son, Leendert Hendrik was born on Ambon in around 1737. He married an indigenous woman and altered his surname to Rhemrev. The family remained in the East Indies. The author spent most of his life on Java and worked primarily as a translator. This work was presumably printed during his brief stint as a language teacher at the University of Leiden. Javanese typefaces were produced as early as 1824, but Taco Roorda's 1839 example was the first to gain general acceptance.
