De beschieting van de Kraton van de Sultan van Djambi door de gouvernementsmarineschepen 'Celebes', 'Admiraal van Kinsbergen' en 'Onrust' op 8 september 1858

anoniem, 1858 - 1865

The barrage of the Sultan of Djambi's kraton on Sumatra by three Dutch paddlesteamers, 5 September 1858. Following the refusal by the new sultan of Djambi, on eastern Sumatra, to recognise Dutch sovereignty in the East Indies, a military campaign was organised against him in 1858. The sultan's throne was declared forfeit and his kraton (palace) was captured. He fled inland. His successor agreed that in future Djambi would remain part of the Dutch East Indies and subject to colonial authority. The anonymous artist portrayed the paddlesteamers Celebes, Admiral van Kinsbergen and Onrust bombarding the kraton from Djambi river.
