A three-page promotional guide to the Java Village on the Midway Plaisance at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It walks visitors through the numbered houses and describes the crafts and daily life shown by about 125 Javanese residents, including weaving on a simple loom, batik wax-resist dyeing, embroidery, hat making, and metalwork. It also covers the theatre, gamelan, and the Serimpi dancers, and explains that the exhibit promoted Java tea and coffee.
