Heer Donald P. Tick gelar Raja Muda Kuno - "The Man" to look for if you are ever lost in the gamut of the royal Indonesian antiquities.

Ever since his first "royal fling" some 22 years ago, this 42 year old "Raja Kuno" of Dutch-Javanese genre has never looked back.

"Ik ben van Indonesische afkomst maar ben in Vlaardingen geboren. Mijn oma is een volbloed Javaanse. Ik denk dat ik de interesse voor deze hobby een beetje van mijn moeder heb mee gekgregen".

"Raja Kuno" Donald Tick weet alles over Indonesische vorstenhuize. Hij wordt wel de wandelende encyclopedie van dit onderwerp genoemd.

Wie iets wil weten, een detail, een bijzonderheid, is bij hem altijd aan het goede adres.


He has amassed and catalogued some 4,000 original copies of old and rare photographs of Indonesian royalties and chieftains into his personal archive. He is still looking out for more. Donald Tick zoekt foto's van Sultan's, Panembahan's, Raja's en Liurai's voor encyclopedie.

He writes for European magazines and also Dutch websites with an Indonesian royalty theme. His vast and intimate knowledge of the Indonesian royalties of kingdoms raised and kingdoms razed has literally made him into a personification of a "walking encyclopaedia" with respect to his much loved Indonesian theme.

He is truly a rare gem and a valuable asset to authors, academicians, professionals and not a few curious cats that wishes to explore deeper this vast theme of the land of "One Nation, A Thousand Kings!"
