"Groote Boom aan het Havenkanaal te Batavia" is an 1863 photograph by Woodbury & Page depicting a canal in Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia). The image captures a colonial Dutch building with a row of horse-drawn carriages in front, and a row of traditional Indonesian boats on the canal. This photo, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an evocative glimpse into the bustling waterways and colonial life of Batavia during the mid-19th century.
