Oey Soe Tjoen's hand-waxed batik is regarded as one of the finest examples in the Indo-Chinese Peranakan style since 1930 and can be found in museum collections worldwide. For three generations, the family has consistently preserved the unique characteristics of design and the high quality of their batiks.

This catalogue powerfully commemorates the centenary of *De Weefkunst* (The Art of Weaving), a landmark Dutch book by J.E. Jaspers and Mas Pirngadie. It stands as the second volume in a vital series of five art books that also cover Basketry, Weavings, Batik, Precious Metals, and Non-Precious Metals. Sandra Niessen has rigorously examined the authors and traced their surviving family members in the Netherlands and Indonesia, underscoring the book's crucial importance for textile researchers and those committed to understanding textile documentation throughout the Dutch Indies. In 2017, DEKRANAS took the significant step of translating *Weefkunst* and the entire series into Indonesian, now titled *Seni Kriya Pribumi pada Zaman Hindia Belanda*, with all five volumes expertly packaged together.
