Map, plan, colour plates, black and white illustrations, 79pp, prior owner's signature on preface, bibliography, some rubbing and sunning to covers, creased corner, still a good paperback copy. 21 x 14.5cm. "Herein lies the deeper meaning of the wayang, and it shows the reasons why ancient leaders of the Indonesian people chose the shadowplay as a means of moral instruction upon a mythical base. The masses are taught the ideal of a moral life, but, the individual is taught the inner life. May this booklet give to the readers a brief introduction to the origins, the meaning, and the artistic value of the wayang purwa."
