Bamboe hangbrug over een rivier 1833

"Bamboe hangbrug over een rivier" (Bamboo suspension bridge over a river) is an 1833 lithograph by Henricus Leonardus van den Houten, depicting a suspension bridge in a tropical landscape. The bridge, constructed of bamboo and rope, spans a river, which is populated by a group of people wading in the water. The scene is framed by lush foliage, including banana trees and palm trees. Van den Houten, a Dutch artist, captured the details of the bridge's construction and the surrounding landscape with meticulous precision, reflecting the growing interest in exotic locales during the 19th century.
