EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside Jean Alberti's shop in Sabang, Sumatra, Dutch East Indies, circa 1905. The image offers a glimpse into the vibrant commercial activity of this Indonesian port town during the early 1900s. Jean Alberti's shop, located on the left side of the image, is identified by the distinctive signage hanging above the entrance. As a postcard publisher, Alberti's business catered to the growing tourism industry and the demands of the European expatriate community. The shop's shelves were likely stocked with a variety of goods, from postcards showcasing the natural beauty of Sumatra to imported European luxury items. Across the street, the Sabang Bay Club, a popular social hub for European residents, can be seen in the background. The club's grand architecture, with its tall columns and lush greenery, stands in stark contrast to the more modest buildings that line the street. The photograph is filled with a sense of energy and activity. Native Indonesian porters can be seen carrying goods on their heads, while European men in suits and women in elegant dresses stroll along the sidewalks. The trees lining the streets add a lush, tropical touch to the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the multicultural and commercial landscape of Sabang during the Dutch colonial period. It captures the bustling energy of a thriving port town and the diverse community that called it home.
