"Spoor binnen de post Oleh-leh west" (c. 1891-1894) is a sepia-toned photograph by A. Kaulfuss that depicts a rural scene in Indonesia. The image shows a dirt road lined with trees, likely a post road, with a small building visible in the distance. This photograph provides a glimpse into the landscape and transportation infrastructure of colonial Indonesia during the late 19th century. The composition focuses on the road, inviting viewers to imagine the journey taken by travelers, while the details of the trees and the building add a sense of place and tranquility. Kaulfuss's work, often focused on capturing the daily lives and landscapes of the Dutch East Indies, offers valuable insights into the visual culture and history of this region.
