The construction of the Gajo Road (North Sumatra). Photo album, 1911 - 1913. This road, six metres wide and 105 kilometres long, connected the northeast coast of Sumatra with the Gajo and Alas territories in Atjeh province. Constructed between 1903and 1914, the road served a military purpose: the subjugation of Atjeh. This album, together with a second volume, was compiled by Jhr A.D. Laman Trip (1881 -1960). He collected photos of the construction work while serving as first lieutenant in Atjeh between 1911 and 1913.
