Een straat in Surabaya 1876 - 1884

"Een straat in Surabaya" (A Street in Surabaya), a photograph taken between 1876 and 1884 by Herman Salzwedel, depicts a quiet street in Surabaya, Indonesia, lined with trees and simple buildings. The image captures the atmosphere of a colonial town in the Dutch East Indies, showcasing the urban landscape and the influence of European architecture in the region. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the daily life and urban development of Surabaya during the late 19th century. Salzwedel's work, often depicting scenes of everyday life in the Dutch East Indies, offers a valuable historical and cultural record of this period.
