EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, showcases the picturesque town of Berastagi in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, with the prominent presence of Mount Sibayak in the background. The town, nestled among lush greenery, is home to several European-style buildings, including the iconic Hotel Brastagi, which stands proudly in the foreground. The hotel, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, exudes an air of colonial elegance, providing a stark contrast to the raw, untamed beauty of the surrounding landscape. Mount Sibayak, an active volcano, dominates the horizon, its peak shrouded in a veil of smoke and steam. The pathway leading to the volcano can be seen winding its way up the mountain, inviting adventurous souls to explore its mysteries. The trees, adorned with vibrant foliage, cast dappled shadows over the town, adding to its enchanting allure. The Dutch East Indies, now known as Indonesia, was under colonial rule during this period, and Berastagi, with its European influences and natural wonders, was a popular destination for tourists and settlers alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of exploration and discovery.
