EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of history within the printworks of the Deli Courant in Medan, Indonesia. The image showcases a woman diligently working at a type-setting machine, surrounded by stacks of newspapers and printing equipment. The Deli Courant holds significant importance as it was founded in 1885, making it the first Dutch language newspaper in Medan. This pioneering publication played a crucial role in disseminating news and information during that era. The woman depicted here represents the unsung heroes behind every successful newspaper - those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring stories to life through their expertise with typesetting machines. Her focused expression reveals her dedication and skill as she meticulously arranges metal letters into place for printing. This picture not only offers us a glimpse into an archival moment but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Indonesia's history. It symbolizes how foreign languages like Dutch were once widely used for publishing purposes alongside Indonesian languages. As we admire this historical snapshot, let us appreciate both its aesthetic value and its significance as an illustration of human ingenuity and progress within the realm of media production.
