Twee rijtuigen rijden langs een plein in Jakarta, een hiervan heeft op de zijkant de tekst Hotel des Indes staan. 1900 - 1911

This black and white photograph, taken between 1900 and 1911 by Johanna Hermina Marmelstein, showcases a bustling scene in Jakarta. The prominent feature is a large tree, likely a banyan, with its sprawling branches casting shade over the square. Two horse-drawn carriages, including one with "Hotel des Indes" on its side, add a sense of movement and historical context to the scene. The photograph captures the essence of colonial Jakarta, offering a glimpse into the city's past and its blend of traditional and modern elements.
