Bezoek aan de leprozerie Pelantoengan 1931 - 1935

Otto Hisgen's 1931-1935 photograph, "Bezoek aan de leprozerie Pelantoengan," captures a group of individuals standing outside a building, likely in Indonesia. The scene, rendered in black and white, offers a glimpse into the life of a leper colony. The individuals, dressed in white, suggest a sense of formality and perhaps a visit to the colony for a specific purpose. The image serves as a historical record of the leprosy colony and the individuals associated with it. "Bezoek aan de leprozerie Pelantoengan" is a significant piece within Hisgen's portfolio for its depiction of colonial life and medical practices of the period.
