This photograph by Christiaan Johan Neeb, taken before 1897, depicts six men from various regions of Indonesia. The men are seated and appear to be formally posed, possibly for a portrait commissioned by Neeb during his travels through the region. The image is a valuable historical document showcasing the attire and social hierarchy of Indonesian communities in the late 19th century. The detailed identification of the men on the right side of the photograph adds further context, revealing their titles and origins. This small-scale photograph, measuring 120mm by 167mm, provides a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of pre-colonial Indonesia.
