EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Kali River in Semarang, North Java, Indonesia, circa 1908. The tranquil waterway, with its gentle current and grassy banks, meanders through the lush greenery, providing a picturesque backdrop to the bustling cityscape of Semarang in the Dutch East Indies. In the foreground, the Randoesarie Institute, a prestigious boarding school, stands proudly on the riverbank. Established in the late 19th century, the institute was renowned for its high-quality education and was attended by many Dutch and Eurasian families residing in Java. The institute's red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and tall, arched windows create a striking contrast against the lush foliage and clear blue sky. The photograph also reveals a group of birds perched on the branches of trees, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of colonial life in Java during the early 1900s and the harmony that existed between the natural world and human settlements.
