EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Cemetery Road in Tjilatjap (Cilacap), Central Java, Indonesia, circa 1908. The tree-lined avenue leads to a historic cemetery on the right, where the monument to Colonel Theodorus (Toontje) Poland stands tall.
Colonel Poland was a distinguished member of the Royal Dutch Colonial Army who passed away in Cilacap in 1857, leaving behind a legacy that is honored by this elegant memorial. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Dutch influence permeated every corner of the East Indies.
The rows of trees lining the road create a sense of tranquility and reverence, casting shadows over the graves that lie peacefully beneath them. Each headstone tells a story of lives lived and lost, reminding us of our own mortality and the importance of cherishing each moment we have.
As we reflect on this poignant image, we are reminded that even in death there is beauty to be found – in memories preserved through monuments like Colonel Poland's and in nature's ability to bring peace to those who rest eternally under its watchful branches. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of our shared humanity and the enduring power of remembrance.
