Sunda Straits Indonesia ~ Year 1872

The Sunda Straits has been an important shipping route for centuries, especially during the period when the Dutch East India Company used it as the gateway to the Spice Islands of Indonesia (1602-1799). However, the strait's narrowness, shallowness, and lack of accurate charting make it unsuitable for many large modern ships, most of which use the Strait of Malacca instead. This print was originally published in the year 1872 by Abraham Salm, a Dutch self-taught artist, who came to Indonesia in 1843, settled in Surabaya as a merchant, and later owned a tobacco plantation in Malang.
