Résumé
The Swiss artist Auguste de Molins is known for his travelogue in the Dutch Indies first published in Le Tour du monde (1864) and translated into Dutch two years later. The circumstances of his stay in Java (1858-1861) are unclear. His unconventional personality and his traveling habits allowed him to observe closely the daily life of the common people of Java ; consequently he reacted against the colonial oppression and all manifestations of violence. Along with Auguste Borget he represents a new generation of artist-travelers.
