Gezicht op Karbouwengat op Sumatra c. 1900 - 1920

"Gezicht op Karbouwengat op Sumatra" (View of Karbouwengat on Sumatra) is a photograph taken by Dutch photographer Christiaan Benjamin Nieuwenhuis, c. 1900-1920. The image captures a stunning panorama of the Karbouwengat valley in Sumatra, Indonesia. Nieuwenhuis, known for his documentation of Indonesian landscapes, expertly captures the dramatic cliffs framing the valley, the winding river snaking through the cultivated fields, and the dense vegetation that blankets the slopes. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the diverse geography and natural beauty of Indonesia during the early 20th century.
