1 pane (20 postage stamps)Date [1920?]–2019Date Note Kisah hidup sang Abdi Kerajaan ini sangat muda, dia dilahirkan di Freneker Belanda pada tanggal 15 April 1840 dan meninggal di Batang Kuantan-Hindia Belanda pada tanggal 22 Oktober 1872. Usianya hanya 32 tahun, namun prestasi yang ditorehnya akan mengekalkan namanya.Administrative/Biographical History de Greve, nama lengkapnya Willem Hendrik de Greve. Dia merupakan ahli geologi yang melaporkan kandungan batubara yang terdapat di Batang Ombilin-Sawahlunto. Berangkat dari penelitian De Greve inilah kemudian Pemerintah Kolonial memutuskan untuk melakukan eksploitasi batubara di daerah sumatera barat. Makam de Greve terletak di suatu areal yang bernama Pulau Godang yakni wilayah yang terletak di seberang batang Kuantan, apabila diperhatikan dari jauh tempat ini terlihat seperti semacam pulau di tengah sungai. Untuk menuju ke Pulau Godang kita harus melalui jembatan gantung yang terbentang di atas Batang Kuantan. Panjang jembatan ini kurang lebih 100 m dengan lebar satu meter. Sangat mengasyikkan karena yang berjalan di atas jembatan ini tidak hanya orang melainkan juga motor.Scope & Content Fonds is comprised of correspondence, photographs, identity and personal documents, society registration documents, minutes, clippings, memorabilia and ephemera created or collected by Alexander and Gina Dimant in Poland, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Italy and Canada.
