Portrait of Stamford Raffles by George Francis Joseph, 1817. Raffles sat for the painting while in London to oversee publication of the book.

The first edition was limited to 900 copies and contained 64 etched or aquatint plates, of which 10 were hand-coloured aquatints by William Daniell depicting Javanese life and costume. A second edition followed in 1830. The book was reprinted from a digital master by the Cambridge University Press in 2010.
