2 kinderen van een Chineesche vader en een Karo-Bataksche moeder: ... Chineesche stand der oogen maar het grove Karo-Bataksche hoofd. 1929

This photograph, taken in 1929 by the Hospitaal Batak Instituut, depicts two children of a Chinese father and a Karo-Batak mother. The caption notes the children’s mixed heritage, highlighting the Chinese slant of their eyes and the prominent Karo-Batak features of their heads. The image serves as a visual record of anthropological research conducted in the Dutch East Indies during this period. The black and white format and composition, with the children standing side by side in a natural setting, were common in anthropological photography of the time.
