This photograph, taken by the Regeringsvoorlichtingsdienst in 1949, captures the arrival of Indonesian delegates at Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. The image shows members of the Round Table Conference (RTC) delegation, including Sultan Hamid II, being greeted by Dutch officials. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of Indonesia's struggle for independence and the subsequent negotiations with the Netherlands. It serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between the two countries and the pivotal role played by the RTC in shaping their future. The black-and-white composition, typical of the era, emphasizes the formality of the occasion.
