This evocative photograph captures the bustling business center of Kempang Diepen in Surabaja, Java, in 1935. The image transports us back in time to an era of colonial influence and economic prosperity. The photograph showcases the vibrant energy of the area, with people going about their daily business and merchants setting up their stalls. The streets are filled with a diverse mix of individuals, reflecting the multicultural fabric of Surabaja. The photograph was taken in the heart of Surabaja's commercial district, which was known for its thriving trade activities. Kempang Diepen was the hub of business and commerce, where merchants from various parts of the world came to buy and sell goods. The area was famous for its textile industry, with many textile mills and factories located in the vicinity. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of Surabaja during the colonial period. The buildings in the background, with their European-style facades, are a testament to the Dutch influence on the city's urban planning. The use of concrete and brick structures, along with the presence of electric lights, indicates the modernization that was taking place in the city. Despite the hustle and bustle of the business district, the photograph also reveals the human element of Surabaja. The people in the photograph, dressed in traditional and Western attire, add to the rich tapestry of the city's history. The photograph is a reminder of the dynamic and complex history of Surabaja and Java, and the role that Kempang Diepen played in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of the region.
