EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, showcases the elegant Hotel Belvedere in Garoet, West Java, Indonesia. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the grand hotel stands proudly at the end of a winding approach road, its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof gleaming in the sunlight. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, the bustling capital city of the Dutch East Indies, located further east. The Hotel Belvedere was a popular destination for European travelers seeking respite from the tropical heat and bustle of the city. The serene setting, surrounded by towering trees and verdant landscapes, offered a refreshing escape. The approach road, lined with trees and dotted with native houses, adds to the picturesque beauty of the scene. People can be seen making their way along the approach road, some on foot, others on bicycles or in horse-drawn carriages. The transport options of the time reflect the diverse population of the Dutch East Indies, with both European and native residents making use of the various modes of transportation. The Hotel Belvedere, with its colonial architecture and idyllic setting, is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Indonesia during the 1920s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and tranquility.
