Arbeiderswoning met arbeiders op plantage Johanna-Catherina te Suriname c. 1918

"Arbeiderswoning met arbeiders op plantage Johanna-Catherina te Suriname" (c. 1918), a black and white photograph by Dutch artist Theodoor Brouwers, captures a simple wooden house on the Johanna-Catherina plantation in Suriname. The house is partially obscured by lush banana and palm trees, with two figures standing near the front. This intimate snapshot of a plantation worker's home offers a glimpse into the lives of those who labored on these colonial estates during the early 20th century, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum.
