Gezicht op de oever van de Wampoe-rivier (?), Tandjong Poera, Langkat Sumatra c. 1900 - 1905

This black and white photograph, "Gezicht op de oever van de Wampoe-rivier (?)" by Heinrich Ernst & Co. from circa 1900-1905, captures a tranquil scene along the Wampoe River in Tandjong Poera, Langkat, Sumatra. The image showcases the riverbank, lush with vegetation, and a docked sailboat. The composition is serene, with the sail and a small hut on the opposite shore serving as focal points, while the surrounding trees and vegetation create a sense of depth and the river's calm waters reflect the sky above. The photograph is part of a series documenting the region's natural beauty and provides a glimpse into life in the area during the early 20th century.
