The book is notable for its fine aquatint views of Batavia. The plates are by Joseph Jeakes who worked as a painter and engraver in London, probably after drawings by Johannes Rach and his school.

William Thorn (1781-1843) served in the Maratha Wars under Lord Lake and in the expeditions against Mauritius in 1810 and Java in 1811, becoming Deputy Quartermaster-General of the British army in the island, and took part in the actions against Palembang and Jogjakarta in 1812.
