EDITORS COMMENTS
Medan, the vibrant capital city of North Sumatra province in Indonesia, is depicted in this photograph taken in the 1910s. The image captures the bustling energy of Keaswan Street, a central thoroughfare that once teemed with activity. The photo reveals a scene of daily life in colonial Indonesia, with a pony-drawn cart making its way through the crowded street. The cart, adorned with colorful traps, appears to be transporting goods to various destinations. The narrow street is lined with two-story European-style buildings, their facades displaying intricate architectural details, a testament to the rich cultural blend that characterized the city during that era. The atmosphere is lively, with people going about their business, children playing, and vendors hawking their wares. The air is filled with the aroma of local delicacies, the sounds of lively conversation, and the clatter of horse hooves on the cobblestone streets. Despite the passage of time, this photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and character of Medan during the colonial period. It is a reminder of the city's rich heritage and the unique blend of cultures that have shaped its identity. Today, Medan continues to thrive as a bustling metropolis, retaining its vibrant energy and rich history.
