This black and white photograph, "Twee Indonesische soldaten met muziekinstrumenten" by Woodbury & Page, depicts two Indonesian soldiers in uniform holding musical instruments. Taken between 1850 and 1870, it offers a glimpse into the colonial era of Indonesia and the attire and musical traditions of the time.
