EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Surabaya, East Java's second-largest city in Indonesia, during the early 1910s. Known as Kembang Djapoon or the "Rose of Japan," this vibrant street scene is a testament to the Dutch colonial influence that once shaped the city's urban landscape. The image reveals a busy road filled with various modes of transportation, including horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and automobiles. Cars, a relatively new innovation at the time, are a notable presence, showcasing the modernization that was taking place in the Dutch East Indies. The buildings lining the street display a mix of architectural styles, with some exhibiting distinctly Dutch colonial influences, while others reflect traditional Indonesian design elements. Banks, a symbol of economic activity, can be seen prominently featured in the photograph. The presence of these institutions underscores the importance of Surabaya as a commercial hub during the colonial era. Pedestrians, dressed in a diverse range of attire, navigate the crowded streets, adding to the lively atmosphere. The photograph, taken circa 1915, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history and cultural melting pot that Surabaya once was. Today, the city continues to thrive as a major economic and cultural center in Indonesia, retaining its unique character and charm.
