Nieuw bivak te Blangrakal 1903 - 1913

This black and white photograph, "Nieuw bivak te Blangrakal," captures a moment of travel through a landscape in Indonesia, likely taken between 1903 and 1913. The anonymous photographer's perspective shows a long line of people, horses, and pack animals moving along a dirt path through tall grasses. The presence of the pack animals and the mountainous backdrop suggests a long journey, while the simple composition and lack of detail highlight the stark beauty of the landscape. This photograph is an example of the photographic documentation of colonial life in Indonesia.
