About this work

View of the railway bridge of the Deli Railway Company (DSM) over the Belawan river, with two men in a rowboat on the shore in the foreground, ca. 1900. The photograph was used on a postcard issued by the Deli-Courant in Medan. This print was likely used in the printing house, which would explain the inscriptions and damage to the edges. Part of a group of 14 loose photographs taken in Central and South Sumatra in the period ca. 1900-1940.
