Sumatra Postcard: Mountain Road From Medan To Brastagi Hairpin Bend 1920s XT5463

This historic monochrome view captures a dramatic hairpin bend along the steep mountain pass connecting Medan and Berastagi in North Sumatra. The handwritten inscription on the reverse details this section as a specimen piece of the 60-kilometre route, which rises to an elevation of over 4,000 feet through dense tropical hillsides. The postcard offers a fascinating archival glimpse into the challenging transport infrastructure and colonial-era hill station access routes developed across the Indonesian archipelago during the early twentieth century.
