"Batavia - Privaathuis op het Koningsplein (mr. Pryce)" is a photographic print from 1863 - 1866 by Woodbury & Page, showcasing a colonial Dutch building in Batavia (present day Jakarta, Indonesia). The photograph shows a large two-story building with a portico and columns, suggesting a grand and luxurious private residence. It is located on the Koningsplein, a prominent square in Batavia. The presence of many figures in front of the building, likely local residents or servants, provides a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time. This photograph exemplifies the photographic documentation of colonial architecture and social interactions in the Dutch East Indies during the 19th century.
