In het Kurhaus te Scheveningen ondertekenden de Republikeinse en B.F.O.-delegaties de concept-constitutie van de Republiek der Verenigde Staten van Indonesië Possibly 1949

This black and white photograph, taken by the Regeringsvoorlichtingsdienst in 1949, depicts a historic moment in Indonesian history. Four men, representing both the Republican and B.F.O. delegations, are gathered around a table in the Kurhaus at Scheveningen, Netherlands, to sign the draft constitution of the Republic of the United States of Indonesia. The photograph captures the significance of this event, marking a pivotal step towards the establishment of a new nation. It is a powerful image that reminds us of the complex political negotiations that shaped the early years of Indonesian independence. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the critical period of Indonesian nation building.
