De weg van Fort de Kock naar Padang Pandjang, Sumatra. || The road from Fort de Kock to Padang Pandjang, Sumatra. Circa 1870

From the infromation of this picture tell us that the road from Bukit Tinggi toward Padang Panjang but in this picture we can see the Jail Building near from Bukik Kandang Kabau were Jam Gadang building stand. We can see the rice field around that building. And far there was Military Area were known as Kantin. There is no Train Station building because that rail has build at 1894 from Padang to Bukit Tinggi.

Mount Marapi and the Prison Building, in this picture said that between 1920-1960. But if we see there were no Train Station so maybe this picture taken before 1891 because the railway finished in Bukit Tinggi was that year. And looked to the ricefield, still there.
______________________________

Gunung Marapi dan Bangunan Penjara di Bukit Tinggi, pada keterangan gambar disebutkan kalau tahun foto ialah antara tahun 1920-1960. Tapi apabila kita lihat lebih seksama maka pada gambar sama sekali tidak tampak Bangunan Stasiun Kereta Api Bukit Tinggi. Jadi mungkin gambar ini diambil sebelum tahun 1891 karena jalur kereta api ke Bukit Tinggi selesai pengerjaannya ialah pada tahun 1891 tersebut. Dan lihat pula lahan persawahan, masih ada.
