Description
English: Photo found in a photo album abandoned in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Scanned by Tropen Museum in the Netherlands. Original caption is in English language. Album appears to have been compiled in at least two stages.

Medan is a city in Sumatra. O.K. is Oost Kust, which is Dutch for “East Coast.”

The photo was printed by A. Dinkel, in Galang, Sumatra, Indonesia.

The orangutan called Joe is said to be wearing a KNIL soldier’s uniform. Source: https://javapost.nl/2014/11/24/joe-martin-de-held-van-borneo/

KNIL is Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger, or in English, Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, which operated between 1814 and 1942.

The original date of the photo is unknown. It was one of four photos originally on the page, three of which have been removed. It is the last page of the first section of the album which is populated with ethnographic and scenic photos of Indonesia with handwritten captions in blue pen written in English.
