Papiermagazijn van de zetterij van de Deli Courant te Medan 1903 - 1908

This photo, *Papiermagazijn van de zetterij van de Deli Courant te Medan,* captures the paper storage of the Deli Courant printing office in Medan, and was created by an anonymous photographer. You know, I'm always fascinated by how artists decide what to document. What caught the eye of the photographer in this everyday scene? Was it the light streaming in, or the repetition of the stacked paper? I can imagine them walking around the warehouse, considering the best angle. The textures—smooth stacks of paper, the rough wood—create an almost tactile experience. And it makes me think about all the unsung heroes who make art and communication possible. The papermakers, the printers, the delivery people – they're all part of the story. Even an image of a paper storage unit is a document, and it creates a conversation that continues through time.
