Acht wandbruggen Possibly 1931 - 1934

"Acht wandbruggen" (Eight Wall Bridges) is an anonymous photograph depicting a construction site for an eight-section bridge, likely for use in the Dutch East Indies. The image, possibly taken in 1931 or 1934, shows the bridge sections being assembled in a factory setting, with a worker standing nearby. The photo’s stark black and white composition emphasizes the industrial nature of the scene, highlighting the precision and scale of the project. This photograph provides a glimpse into the infrastructure projects undertaken during the colonial period, demonstrating the importance of bridges in connecting communities and facilitating trade. The photo is part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
