Hindostaanse contractarbeiders in het immigrantendepot 1891

"Hindostaanse contractarbeiders in het immigrantendepot" (1891) by Gomez Burke is a photograph documenting the lives of indentured Indian laborers in Suriname. The image portrays a group of South Asian men, likely contract laborers, standing in front of a building in a colonial setting. A European official, presumably overseeing the workers, stands prominently among them, highlighting the power dynamics of the colonial period. The photograph serves as a poignant visual record of the complex and often challenging history of indentured labor in Suriname.
