EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, captures a memorable moment outside the elegant Hotel Baraboedder in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The tranquil ambiance of the scene is contrasted by the excitement and intrigue as the ladies of the native ruler of Solo, or Surakarta, prepare for a ride in a car. During the Dutch colonial era in the Indonesian archipelago, also known as the East Indies, the Dutch introduced modern transportation methods, including automobiles, which quickly became a symbol of status and luxury among the local elite. Here, we see the native rulers embracing this new technology, adding a touch of modernity to their traditional way of life. The Hotel Baraboedder, a popular destination for European travelers, stands proudly in the background, its grandeur and sophistication a testament to the colonial influence that permeated the region. The ladies, dressed in their finest attire, are accompanied by their entourage, adding an air of regality to the scene. As they climb into the car, the ladies' expressions reveal a sense of anticipation and joy, reflecting the thrill of embarking on a new adventure. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the native rulers during this period, providing a fascinating insight into the intersection of tradition and modernity in colonial Indonesia.
