"Batavia - Commensalenhuis Ernst" is a photographic print created by Woodbury & Page between 1863 and 1866. It is a photo of a large, colonial-era building in Batavia, now Jakarta, Indonesia. The image captures the building's facade, with its arched entranceway, and several figures standing in the foreground. The photograph provides a glimpse into the architectural style and social life of the Dutch East Indies during the mid-19th century. The print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of 19th-century photojournalism and historical documentation.
