Description: Mounted photograph depicting two
uniformed men bearing the initials "PB" on their
collars, indicating their affiliation with Pakoe Boewono.
They served as kraton (royal palace) soldiers in the
court of Soerakarta (Solo), Central Java. Each man
wears a numbered placard on his chest, likely part
of a palace registry or identification system. The
use of the table and potted plant as studio props
adds a decorative element to the otherwise formal
scene, which was likely captured for official
documentation. The reverse side includes the
names of the men and the date 28/8/1918.
