Indonesische jongen bij koets met paard 1867 - 1880

This 19th-century photograph, "Indonesische jongen bij koets met paard", captures a moment in colonial Indonesia. The image, created by the photography studio G.R. Lambert & Co. between 1867 and 1880, depicts a young Indonesian man standing beside a horse-drawn carriage, likely used for transportation by European colonizers. The scene offers a glimpse into the social hierarchy and colonial dynamics of the period, showcasing both the local population and the vehicles introduced by Europeans. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a valuable historical document of daily life in Indonesia under Dutch colonial rule.
