Een suikerrietveld in bloei 1876 - 1884

"Een suikerrietveld in bloei" (A Sugarcane Field in Bloom) is a black and white photograph by Herman Salzwedel, taken between 1876 and 1884. The photograph captures a tranquil scene of a sugarcane field in bloom, with a small stream flowing through the center of the image. The composition emphasizes the lush greenery of the field and the palm trees that line the path leading to the stream. Two figures are visible in the distance, working in the field. This photo, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the agricultural landscape of the Dutch East Indies during the 19th century.
