Gezicht op het Gouvernementsplein in Paramaribo before 1927

This black and white photograph, taken before 1927 by Dutch photographer Eugen Klein, depicts the "Gouvernements plein" (Government Square) in Paramaribo, Suriname. The central building, with a clock tower, is the former seat of the colonial government in the Dutch colony. A flagpole can be seen at right, and two figures are visible walking in the foreground. The photograph is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection of historical images from the Dutch colonial period.
