This original vintage postcard from the 1980s features a vibrant lithograph image of Jakarta's historic Lapangan Banteng (Banteng Square), Indonesia. The view highlights the iconic Catholic Cathedral with its distinctive twin spires on the left, the tall Hotel Borobudur building to the right, and the central National Monument statue standing prominently in the middle of the square. The postcard measures a continental size of 6 x 4 inches and showcases excellent color saturation typical of printed lithographs from that era.
The back of the postcard contains a handwritten note dated January 28, 1987, providing a personal glimpse into the period. The message mentions local landmarks and the rainy season, adding charm and historical context. This postcard captures a significant cultural and architectural snapshot of Jakarta during the late 20th century and will appeal to collectors of Indonesian memorabilia, vintage travel ephemera, and Southeast Asian urban history.
