EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the 1860s-70s, showcasing the prestigious Hotel des Indes in Batavia. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing architectural beauty is undeniable. The hotel stands proudly against a backdrop of lush green grounds, with its Victorian-era charm radiating through every detail. Its grandeur speaks volumes about the era it represents - a time when Dutch East Indies was at its peak as a colonial power. Located in present-day Jakarta, Indonesia, Hotel des Indes served as an iconic symbol of luxury and sophistication during this period. This gelatin silver print from a glass negative perfectly captures the essence of this historic landmark. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era where elegance reigned supreme. The meticulously maintained lawn adds to the allure of the scene while inviting guests to indulge in leisurely strolls or perhaps enjoy afternoon tea on its well-manicured lawns. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photographic gem serves as a testament to both Indonesian heritage and the artistry behind early photography techniques. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvel that is Hotel des Indes but also offers insight into how our world has evolved over time. Intriguingly mysterious yet undeniably captivating, this photograph invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever preserved through visual storytelling.
