Minister-president Beel bezoekt Borneo Possibly 1947

This black and white photograph, taken by the Associated Press in 1947, shows Minister-president Beel during his visit to Borneo. The image captures the moment Beel disembarks from a seaplane, surrounded by other figures, likely members of his entourage. The photograph offers a glimpse into a historical event and highlights the use of air travel during this period. The image is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, a testament to the museum’s focus on preserving Dutch history and culture.
