"Spoor en een spoorbrug over een rivier in de Anaikloof," meaning "Track and a railway bridge over a river in the Anai Gorge," is a photograph by Dutch photographer Christiaan Benjamin Nieuwenhuis. Taken sometime between 1891 and 1912, the image captures a scenic view of a railway bridge crossing a river in a lush, forested valley. The photograph provides a glimpse into the construction of infrastructure in the Dutch East Indies during the colonial period. This black and white photograph, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a historical perspective on the development of transportation networks and the impact of industrialization on the landscape.
