"Tandjong Priok" is a stereoscopic photograph by Robert Julius Boers, depicting the harbor of Tandjong Priok, in what is now Indonesia, between 1900 and 1922. The photograph is a view of the harbor with a long building and several boats along the pier, and is a reminder of the importance of the port city of Jakarta, formerly known as Batavia, in the Dutch East Indies. The photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse of a bygone era of maritime trade and Dutch colonial influence.
