Mannen in een auto 1900 - 1922

"Mannen in een auto," a stereoscopic photograph by Robert Julius Boers, depicts a group of men in a car, likely a 1900s automobile, in a tropical setting. The image showcases the early adoption of automotive technology in the Dutch East Indies, a period of rapid modernization and transformation. Boers, a Dutch photographer known for his extensive documentation of the region, captured the scene with meticulous detail, highlighting the contrast between the modern vehicle and the lush tropical environment. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and culture of the early 20th century in the Dutch East Indies.
