"Kamp geneesheer Sectie W - Kamp T - K.M. 100," taken by Augusta Curiel between 1905 and 1910, is a black and white photograph depicting a simple wooden structure with a thatched roof, likely a medical camp in the Dutch East Indies. The image features a wooden structure, possibly a clinic or hospital, situated on a hill overlooking a railway line. The composition of the image, showcasing a stark contrast between the natural landscape and the man-made structure, highlights the impact of colonial expansion on the indigenous environment. This photograph, part of a larger collection by Curiel documenting colonial life, provides a glimpse into the daily lives of those living and working in the region during the early 20th century.
