EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Soekaboemi, or Sukabumi, in West Java, Indonesia during the early 1910s. The image showcases the picturesque Laura Pavilion, a Dutch colonial-era building, nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking a tranquil fishing lake. The Pavilion, with its elegant architecture and tall, arched windows, stands as a testament to the Dutch colonial influence in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies era. In the foreground, a local Preanger fisher family can be seen, adding a sense of authenticity and local culture to the scene. The adults are dressed in traditional Indonesian attire, while their children, clad in simple clothing, play and explore the lake's edge. The family's fishing equipment is scattered around them, suggesting their livelihood and connection to the lake. The calm waters of the lake reflect the clear blue sky and the surrounding trees, creating a harmonious and idyllic atmosphere. The peaceful coexistence of the colonial building and the local community, engaged in their daily activities, highlights the rich cultural diversity of Indonesia during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Dutch colonial influence intertwined with the local culture, creating a unique and intriguing blend of history and tradition. The Laura Pavilion and fishing lake at Soekaboemi, West Java, remain a captivating reminder of Indonesia's colonial past and its enduring connection to its diverse and vibrant heritage.
