Groepsportret van het bestuur van de Gymnastiekvereniging Lycurgus in Batavia 1907 - 1908

This 1907-1908 photograph by Busenbender & Co. depicts a group portrait of the board of the gymnastics association Lycurgus in Batavia. It is a formal portrait with the five men dressed in suits and bowties, posing in a studio setting. The men are standing and sitting in a semi-circular formation in front of a draped banner that likely displays the association's logo. This photograph, a testament to the popularity of gymnastics in Batavia at the turn of the 20th century, provides a glimpse into the social activities and organizations prevalent in Dutch colonial society.
