Batavia [Jakarta]. Photographer: Woodbury and Page
- Scope & Content:
-
This photograph shows the Molenvliet canal from the southern end, looking north. Molenvliet West (Jalan Gajah Mada) is on the left and Molenvliet Oost (Jalan Hayam Wuruk) is on the right. At that time, there was no access from Molenvliet Oost to Noordwijk (Jalan Juanda) because the corner site (visible on the far right-hand side of this photograph) was occupied by a large private residence which around the 1860s became Hotel Ernst. The buildings on the left belong to the Hotel des Indes, while the lantern-topped gate posts marking the entrance to the grand private estate Moenswijk are visible on the far left. Information from Scott Merrillees, Batavia in Nineteenth Century Photographs (Archipelago Press, Singapore, 2000), where this photograph is reproduced, p. 99.
Batavia (Jakarta) was visited by the compiler of this album between 3rd and 5th February 1879.
