View of the Ossenberg country estate on Batavia

Rach, Johannes

View of the Ossenberg country estate, owned by the gentleman Willem Hendrik van Ossenberg.

In 2002 the street on which the estate was situated is known as Jalan Pangeran Jayakarta.

Among the people out for a stroll are a soldier with curled mustachios, a married couple accompanied by servants bearing a pajong, or parasol, and betelbox. A little further on an Arab man in striped robes strolls with parasol.
