Borobudur Upper Terrace Circa 1920 ~ Framed

Dating back to the 9th century, the Borobudur Temple complex is one of the defining landmarks of Buddhism in the Indies and one of the wonders of the world. Built-in the style of a mandala, Borobudur consists of nine stacked platforms topped by a central dome. With 72 statues of the Buddha in its stupas, it is undoubtedly the largest Buddhist temple in the world and a marvel. After the natives converted to Islam in the 14th century, the temple went in decline until Sir Stamford Raffles mounted an expedition to “rediscover” the lost temple. Originally published in the year 1883 by Cornelis Rappard, a colonel in the KNIL and a painter.

Originally published in a limited edition series by Jan Christiaan Poortenaar, a Dutch graphic artist, engraver and publisher. He worked in the Dutch East Indies until 1924.⁣
