Gezicht op Harang Gaul (boven) en een rijstveldwachter (onder) op Sumatra before 1898

This photograph, taken by Carl J. Kleingrothe before 1898, depicts two scenes in Sumatra, Indonesia. The top image shows a panoramic view of the landscape with a body of water and palm trees. The bottom image shows a rice paddy field with a single figure walking along a path. Kleingrothe's work captures a glimpse into the natural beauty and daily life of Sumatra, showcasing the island's diverse landscapes and agricultural practices. The photograph is a part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum. This work is an excellent example of 19th-century photography and offers insight into the colonial period in Indonesia.
