EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Bromo, an active volcano in the Tengger massif of East Java, Indonesia, has long been a source of fascination for travelers and explorers. This photograph, taken circa 1910, captures a group of people making their way up the volcanic mountain, dressed in traditional Indonesian attire. The Tengger massif, home to several volcanic mountains, is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and unique landscapes. Mount Bromo, with its distinctive cone-shaped peak, is an active volcano that has been shaping the landscape of East Java for centuries. The volcanic mountain is surrounded by a sea of sand, created by previous eruptions, and is often shrouded in a thick layer of smoke and steam. Despite the challenging terrain and the potential danger posed by the active volcano, the people in this photograph are undeterred. They make their way up the mountain, carrying supplies and equipment, with a sense of determination and reverence for the natural phenomena that surround them. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when travel to remote and exotic locations was an adventure in and of itself. The Dutch East Indies, now known as Indonesia, was a Dutch colony during this period. The Dutch influence is evident in the European-style hats and clothing worn by some of the people in the photograph. However, the dominant culture is clearly Indonesian, as evidenced by the traditional attire worn by the majority of the group. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Mount Bromo and the natural wonders of Indonesia. It invites us to reflect on the past and to appreciate the beauty and power of nature, even in its most volatile forms.
