Sumatra (Noord Gedeelte)

Two large size lithographed maps showing in great detail the Island of Sumatra, Singapore and the Sunda Street. The map was printed in 1910 in the Netherlands, and shows a few interesting and detailed insets. A decorative map in attractive colours, very suitable for framing. This is a genuine antique map, not a modern reproduction. 

Lithography is a printing process that uses a flat stone or metal plate on which the image areas are worked using a greasy substance so that the ink will adhere to them, while the non-image areas are made ink-repellent. 

Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia. It is the largest island that is fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world at 473,481 km2 (182,812 mi.2), not including adjacent islands such as the Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, Enggano, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung and Krakatoa archipelago.
