Buitenzorg - Paleis van den Gouverneur-Generaal 1863 - 1869

This 19th-century photograph by Woodbury & Page depicts the Governor-General's Palace in Buitenzorg, now known as Bogor, Indonesia. The image, taken between 1863 and 1869, showcases the grand colonial architecture of the palace, with its white facade and classical columns, surrounded by lush greenery. This photo, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the colonial past of Indonesia and the architectural style favored by Dutch authorities. The photo is an example of albumen print, a popular photographic printing process in the 19th century.
