This black and white photograph, taken by Woodbury & Page between 1857 and 1880, depicts a Javanese man, possibly a servant of Hamengkoeboewono VI, with two children. The man sits in the center, wearing traditional Javanese clothing, while the children sit on either side of him. The photograph was likely taken for personal documentation and offers a glimpse into the lives of Javanese people during the 19th century. This is an example of early photography from Indonesia, currently held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
