It seems this series was very popular as it was re-issued at least three times with more (different) photographs included in each release. Many of these images seem exotic to me now, so it must have been very special to have a set in the 1930s. There are three carts in this scene, with their yoked bullocks patiently awaiting the call to action. Note the vertical pole, apparently acting as a parking brake.
The Ijen volcano complex is a group of stratovolcanoes, in East Java, Indonesia. It is inside a larger caldera Ijen, which is about 20 kilometers wide. The Gunung Merapi stratovolcano is the highest point of that complex. The name of this volcano resembles that of a different volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, also known as Gunung Merapi. The name "Merapi" means "fire" in the Indonesian language. From: wiki.
Java is the world's most densely populated island (population: 136 million). It is home to 60% of Indonesia's population. Much of Indonesian history took place on Java; it was the centre of powerful Hindu-Buddhist empires, Islamic sultanates, the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, and was at the centre of Indonesia's campaign for independence. The island dominates Indonesian social, political and economic life. More information on wikipedia.
With an area of 138,794 km2, Java is the 13th largest island on the world. It is bigger than Greece or Arkansas, and only slightly smaller than Tajikistan. However, it is only the 5th largest island in Indonesia, after the Indonesian part of New Guinea (Papua and West Papua), Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi. When it comes to the population, Java is the most populous island in the world (136 million) before Honshu in Japan and Great Britain. There are almost as many people in Java as there are in all of Russia. Not in vain, Java is one of the most densely populated territories in the world. It is home to 60% of Indonesia's population, including its capital and largest city, Jakarta.
Trying to catch at least a zoomed impression of the art that is very similar in each of the Java Houses.
