This carte de visite shows a man with a medal pinned to his jacket. Printed on the mounting board is the studio mark: Insulinde Tjantian, SoerabayaPhotography studios had been established across the Straits Settlements and the Dutch East Indies by the 1860s, with the earliest studios being European owned. Chinese- and Japanese-operated studios began appearing in increasing numbers in the 1890s, and by the early 20th century, these studios almost completely dominated the industry across Southeast Asia.
