Domestic Interiors of the Cape and Batavia 1602–1795 Batik while preserving its traditional artistryThis publication offers a pioneering comparative study of domestic interiors in two key colonial outposts of the Dutch East India Company (VOC): the Cape of Good Hope and Batavia (modern day Jakarta). Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the VOC and the 350th anniversary of Jan van Riebeecks arrival at the Cape, the book explores the furnishings, architecture, and material culture that shaped daily life in VOC households between 1602 and 1795.
