Inger McCape Elliot
“Batik was often made to commemorate special events. War was an especially popular subject, but so was the opening of a new railroad line, the flight of a new airplane, or the launching of a steamship. Sometimes entire fairy tales – Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty – were illustrated.
There was nothing particularly magical about these special designs; they were more kitsch than art. Nevertheless, these special batiks for special events tell us what people were thinking at the time.
Many of the commemorative batik pieces are associated with the workshops of Indische women who made them for the colonial market in Java, sometimes using cap, sometimes tulis. If nothing else, these special batik clearly show once again the many outside influences that came to bear on batik design.”
On this batik red riding hood and the wolf had been depicted on the kepala.

Published in: BATIK, Traditional Textiles of Indonesia from Smend collection (page 70/71)
“Sarong, probably made in an Arab workshop in Pekalongan, early 20th century
The faces of all the living beings – humans, birds, dogs an even a horse – depicted in this rural scene have been disguised in some way. Some have been turned into floral-like forms. This feature, as well as the large bouquet of flowers, suggests that the cloth was produced in Pekalongan, in one of the many batik workshops run by Indonesian Arabs.”
