EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases Queen Emma School in Batavia, Jakarta, Java, Indonesia. Located in the European District of the city, this grand educational institution was a symbol of Dutch colonial rule during the Dutch East Indies era. The image reveals a sprawling campus with several large, imposing buildings adorned with ornate railings and steps. The European architectural style is evident in the use of red-tiled roofs, arched windows, and intricate stonework. The buildings exude an air of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the wealth and power of the Dutch colonial administration. Queen Emma School was named after Queen Emma of the Netherlands, who reigned from 1883 to 1890. The school was established to provide high-quality education to the children of Dutch colonial officials and their families, as well as to the European elite in Batavia. The institution was renowned for its rigorous academic curriculum and its commitment to nurturing the next generation of Dutch colonial leaders. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Batavia, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way along the cobblestone roads. The image transports us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the colonial past of Indonesia and the Dutch East Indies.
