Hangbrug 1931 - 1940

"Hangbrug" is a black and white photograph of a suspension bridge located in a tropical setting, likely in the Dutch East Indies. Taken between 1931 and 1940 by an anonymous photographer, the image captures a scene of simple infrastructure in a lush landscape. The bridge, a straightforward design of steel and cables, is framed by a line of palm trees, suggesting its importance in connecting communities in a region known for its dense vegetation. The photo is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the ongoing interest in capturing the everyday scenes of colonial Indonesia.
