This photograph, created by Woodbury & Page between 1875 and 1885, depicts the Paleis van Daendels on the Waterlooplein in Batavia, now known as Jakarta, Indonesia. The image showcases the grand architectural design of the palace, featuring a classical facade with a colonnade and a series of windows.
