EDITORS COMMENTS
A bustling scene of activity unfolds in this circa 1908 photograph capturing the Town Square, or Aloon Aloon, of Tjontong in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The Dutch colonial influence is evident in the European-style architecture, with grand buildings adorned with intricate details and balconies overlooking the square. The trams, a common mode of transportation during the Dutch East Indies era, can be seen making their way along the tracks that crisscross the cobblestone streets. The road leading to the square is filled with a mix of horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and pedestrians, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Trees provide shade and a sense of greenery amidst the urban landscape. The Town Square of Tjontong, Surabaya, was a hub of social and commercial activity, reflecting the rich cultural blend of the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia.
