This photograph shows a Peranakan man and woman standing next to a plane. The two children are on the plane.This large group of photographs provides important visual documentation of the fashion, studio photography and lifestyle of Peranakans of the Straits Settlements and Indonesia in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries.
