1847 Borneo Ceremony Hoisting Indonesia South West Labuan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the ceremony of hoisting the British flag on the island of Labuan, located on the southwest coast of Borneo. The year was 1847, and this event marked a pivotal moment in British colonial rule in Indonesia.
The image showcases a group of British officials and soldiers gathered on the picturesque coast of Labuan, preparing to raise their flag as a symbol of their dominance over the island. The clear blue skies and calm waters provide a serene backdrop to this historic occasion.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the power dynamics at play during this period in history. The act of hoisting a flag may seem simple, but it carries with it immense political significance and consequences for the people living on these lands.
Through this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back to an era where empires clashed and territories were claimed. It serves as a visual reminder of our complex past and invites us to reflect on how these events have shaped our present-day world.
