Antique chromolithograph of a warung in a kampong. Warungs are native corner shops or general goods shops in the Indies but also function as a meeting place since they often serve drinks and snacks. In this case, tea, a plate of nasi and fruits can be seen on the stall. Warungs are often named by the items they sell thus there are warung kopi for coffee shops and warung nasi for places that sell rice dishes. 

Published in Leiden, the Netherlands, after a water drawing by J.C. Rappard,

Jhr. Josias Cornelis Rappard (1824-1898) was a colonel in the KNIL and a painter. During his posting in the Netherlands Indies 1842-1872, he painted and drew pictures of life and scenes in the Indies that were later, back in Leiden, The Netherlands, would be made into chromolithographs. The Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam holds a large number of these prints and collectors all over the world appreciate Rappard's classic watercolours.

Chromolithography was a popular method for colour printing in the 19th century because of its lower cost and relative ease to mass-produce. The process involves the use of stones and a chemical process to fasten images to the paper. High-end chromolithographs are hand-finished by an artist after the process to ensure the best possible fidelity in each copy.
