Portret van een Indiase kinderjuffrouw met kinderwagen en baby te Singapore 1867 - 1880

This carte-de-visite photograph, created by G.R. Lambert & Co. between 1867 and 1880, depicts an Indian ayah (a nursemaid) in Singapore, holding a baby while standing next to a pram. The photograph provides a glimpse into the lives of domestic workers in colonial Singapore during the 19th century and highlights the presence of diverse cultural influences in the region. The image's small size and the formal pose of the sitter, typical of the carte-de-visite format, suggests this photograph was likely intended for personal use or exchange amongst family and friends.
