Stake attention in this memory
The media file features a book titled "Faces of Indonesia" by Scott Merrillees, with the subtitle "660 POSTCARDS 1900-1945." The cover displays a sepia-toned historical photograph of seven Indonesian children, likely school-aged, sitting on the ground outdoors. Two children in the foreground are actively engaged in reading a newspaper, with the visible title "Bintang Hindia," while the others observe with interest, suggesting a moment of shared learning or receiving news. The children are dressed in traditional Indonesian clothing, some wearing head coverings. Notable details on the book cover include two circular postmark-like stamps. Both are dated "19.1.15." (January 19, 1915) and bear the word "WELTEVREDEN," a historical district name in colonial Batavia (now Jakarta). A caption above the main photograph reads "Inlandsche-schoolkinderen. Bandoeng." (Native school children. Bandung.). Smaller text at the bottom indicates, "FROM THE AUTHOR OF Batavia in Nineteenth Century Photographs." A white library sticker is partially visible on the bottom-left corner of the book, showing text such as "GL. 810," "hal RI," and "848," indicating it is a library item, possibly from an Indonesian institution. The book itself is positioned in an indoor setting, likely on a shelf or table, against a plain, light-colored background.
