A. Heuken adalah seorang yang menampilkan wajah lain Jakarta melalui bukunya yang berjudul Historical Sites of Jakarta. Dalam buku ukuran 24 x 30cm, setebal 384 halaman itu, ia mengajak kita menjelajahi kembali masa lampau kota yang pernah dijuluki ‘Ratu dari Timur’ ini, melalui bangunan-bangunan kuno yang sampai sekarang masih ada; baik yang sudah dipugar, dijadikan museum, maupun yang dibiarkan merana dimakan usia.
Buku Adolf Heuken ini juga mengajak kita beralih sejenak. Dari pesona gedung-gedung megah, ke peninggalan masa lampau – seperti wisma-wisma tuan tanah, masjid, gereja, kelenteng kuno, dengan latar-belakang aneka ragam.
Sekian banyak bangsa, suku, agama, budaya, memang sudah ikut menyumbang dalam pembentukan Kota Jakarta. Bertemunya aneka unsur itu kita lihat dalam pelbagai ‘keajaiban’. Antaranya tugu prasasti Hindu yang pernah dikeramatkan penduduk. Kumpulan arca Hindu yang dipuja dalam klenteng Tionghoa. Gereja Belanda yang diperuntukkan umat Protestan Portugis. Atau klenteng dengan keramat ‘Islam’ di dalamnya.
Buku klasik tentang tempat-tempat bersejarah di Jakarta ini berisi banyak gambar dan peta kuno berwarna. Setiap orang yang ingin mengenal ibukota RI sewajarnya memilik buku ini. Sudah terbit tujuh kali.

Jakarta, once the ‘Queen City of the East’, changes very fast. More and more building and objects of its past disappear in our time. But there is still much more to be seen than most people, even long time residents, are aware of. There are old mansions, colonial fortification, churches, mosques and Chinese temples with a colourful cosmopolitan background. Many races, nearly all great religions of our world, and most different cultures have contributed to the development of Jakarta. For centuries this city has been the centre of a web of sea-based trading posts scattered between Cape Town in South Africa and Surat in North India to the islet of Deshima in Japan. Textiles and indigo from India were traded for Indonesian spices, these in turn bought Chinese tea, silks and porcelains which were exchanged for the silver and copper of Japan. From Europe silver and gold coins were used to buy at very cheap prices all goods of the East in order to sell them in Amsterdam for big profits.
Besides being the centre of vast trading emporium, Jakarta developed more and more into the main city of the Indonesian archipelago.

This book leads the reader to what still remains of this colourful past in present-day Jakarta, which today as the capital of modern Indonesia again occupies a central position.

The monumental work of J.W. ­Heydt “Allerneuester Geographisch- und Topo­graphischer Schau-Platz von Africa und Ost-Indien….” has been published in Nürnberg 1744. It is the first illustrated book on ­Batavia written by an ­eyewitness who lived there between 1737 and 1740. J.W. Heydt was a precise ­drawer and surveyor. He produced 41 engravings of different places in and around Batavia on order of Governor-General Valckenier. For himself Heydt always made another engraving, which he published together with precise descriptions after his return to Germany. F. de Haan, the well known archivist and author of Oud Batavia, praises the accuracy and reliability of Heydt’s drawings and descriptions. An indispensable source for the history of Jakarta!

This reprint reproduces 123 pages of the original book in the library of the Galeri Kartini as faithful as possible. At the moment there are only two ­copies of the original edition of 1744 in Jakarta. Therefore this reprint and its translation are of greatest importance for everyone interested in the history of Jakarta.

The text of 41 chapters has been translated into English and reprinted in the same way as the German book. Therefore it is easy to compare the translation with original. The commentary written by Adolf Heuken, the well known historian of Jakarta, provides ample information about the author, the book and the contemporary situation at the middle of the 18th century. It makes it easy to refer to the present situation of all engravings drawn by ­Heydt more than 250 years ago. Colour fotos show the present places concerned.

The Cipta Loka Caraka Foundation, known by its standard work ‘Historical Sites of Jakarta’, 20077 and the Gale­ri Kartini make a valuable contribution for any historical research of the city of Jakarta and provide the reader with wonderful drawings. The facsimile “Allerneuester Geographisch- und Topographischer Schau-Platz von Africa und Ost-Indien” is a treasure in every library. The copies of the reprint are limited.

The original contains 123 pages, 37,5 x 32,5 cm, and the translation is of the same size and has 143 pages. Both books are printed in full colour and put together in a hard coverbox. It is a most valuable present for any person who is fond of antique books and prints on Jakarta.

Because the German original maybe difficult to read, the English translation is also printed separatly.
