This photograph by Eugen Klein depicts a ceremonial archway erected in Paramaribo, Suriname, to celebrate the opening of the Surinamese railway in 1905. The archway, visible in the distance, stands over the railway tracks which disappear into the distance, signifying a new era of transportation. The image, housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the historic moment and offers a glimpse into the early days of railway infrastructure in Suriname. The photograph's unique historical significance makes it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of transportation and colonial architecture in Suriname.
