Strand van Banda Besar 1875 - 1890

This albumen print photograph, "Strand van Banda Besar", by C. (fotograaf) Dietrich, is a beautiful example of 19th-century landscape photography. Taken between 1875 and 1890, the image captures the serene beauty of a beach scene, framed by the lush foliage of trees. The composition, with the trees acting as a natural frame, draws the viewer's eye to the distant shoreline and the calm waters beyond. The photographer's keen eye for detail and composition makes this a striking and evocative glimpse of the Indonesian landscape during this era. The print, measuring 172mm in height and 228mm in width, is a testament to the artistry of early photography and its ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
