Walstransport 1931 - 1937

"Walstransport" is a black and white photograph taken between 1931 and 1937 by an unknown photographer. It shows a steamroller, likely used for road construction in the Dutch East Indies, with five men standing in front of it. The steamroller's large wheels and the men's casual attire provide a glimpse into the infrastructure and daily life of the region during the colonial period. The photo's provenance is unknown, but its presence in the Rijksmuseum makes it a valuable artifact of Dutch colonial history.
