Pad langs suikerriet c. 1900s - 1910s

"Pad langs suikerriet" (Path along sugarcane) is an anonymous black and white photograph from the early 20th century housed at the Rijksmuseum. The image showcases a path lined with trees, a small canal and a field of sugarcane on one side. It offers a glimpse into rural life in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. The photograph captures the simple beauty of the landscape, a testament to the photographic art of the time and a documentation of life in a colonial era.
