This anonymous photograph, taken between 1898 and 1899, depicts the printing press of the *Deli Courant* newspaper in Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia. The building, a simple structure with windows, is partially obscured by a line of trees framing the scene. A cart in the foreground hints at the bustling activity of the printing press and the importance of the *Deli Courant* to the local community. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the early days of journalism in Medan, capturing the spirit of a burgeoning city under Dutch colonial rule.
