EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil scene of a road near Oedjoong in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, during the Dutch colonial era, circa 1900. The town, then known as Soerabaia or Soerabaja, is depicted as a quaint and picturesque settlement with its well-maintained streets, European-style buildings, and lush greenery. On the left side of the image, the Harmony Society building stands proudly, its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls reflecting the Dutch architectural influence. The Harmony Society, also known as the Harmonie Vereeniging, was a social club for European residents in Surabaya, offering various recreational activities and cultural events. The trees lining the road add to the serene atmosphere, their vibrant green leaves contrasting with the grayish tones of the buildings and the road. The absence of vehicles and people in the image further emphasizes the stillness and calmness of the scene. The photograph serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Surabaya during the Dutch colonial period. The image also highlights the harmonious coexistence of European and Indonesian influences, as reflected in the architectural styles and the natural beauty of the surroundings.
