= Nicely coloured, adorned with gold. "This art form [lukisan kaca], in which paint is applied onto the back surface of a piece of glass and viewed from the front, was first imported from Europe to Asia in the eighteenth century. (...) It is not known how or when reverse painting arrived in Java, Bali, or other islands of Indonesia, though a number of theories exist. (...) Most of the earliest paintings depict wayang figures, closely resembling tlawungan in their composition, although there are also a number representing military conflicts. (...) In other parts of Java [outside of the pasar malam (market in cities)], lukisan kaca made in the last decades of colonialism often depicted contemporary scenes. A very popular subject for central Javanese lukisan kaca to date are the punakawan (clown-servants) of wayang kulit dressed up in the traditional garb of the priyayi elite and partaking in modern diversions. (...) In Cirebon, in contrast, the lukisan kaca form until relatively recently has been used almost exlusively to depict traditional subjects - wayang figures and scenes, batik motifs, Islamic symbols such as the Buran and macan Ali, verses from the Qur'an." (M.I. Cohen, "Traditional and Popular Painting in Modern Java." Archipel 69, no. 1 (2005): 5-38, pp. 31-32).

"In 1817 appeared the monumental work of Sir Thomas Raffles, which in spite of certain inaccuracies is still a standard book (...) begun in October 1816 and published in the following May. He was interested in every aspect of his subject, and devotes whole sections to Javan ethics, literature, poetry, music and musical instruments, drama, games of skill and methods of hunting, besides the more ordinary matters of interest, population, natural history, religion, antiquities and the military system. At the end of the second volume a hundred and fifty pages are given up to the comparitive vocabularies of Java and the neighbouring islands, and the whole is a unique monument erected by a great ruler to those over whom he rules, and incidentally, to his own honour (...) stands very high in its own class and the aquatint plates are full of interest" (Prideaux p.152). "An influential work valued for the author's firsthand observations on the customs and condition of the Javanese under his administration as Governor-General during the British occupation of the Dutch East Indies (1811-1815)." (Von Hünersdorff/ Hasenkamp). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXVI.

According to other biographical data, Schmal was a former Haarlem lieutenant who went to the Dutch Indies in 1829 on commission as lieutenant of the "Vrijwillige Jagers te paard". During his return voyage in 1831 his wife and youngest son died. And he became a bookshop owner in Zierikzee. A personal and rather negative account of a soldier's life in the Dutch Indies: "een soldaat kan in die Indië niet zwieren, nog maar zelden zuipen en ik ben verzekerd er meer van verdriet uitteren en sterven dan door den drank of losbollerij. (...) Er behoort eene stalen ziel in een metaal ligchaam, om al de rampen te wederstaan, die den soldaat in Indië treffen" (from the introduction).
