Kinderen 1900 - 1922

"Kinderen" (Children), a stereoscopic photograph created by Robert Julius Boers between 1900 and 1922, captures a moment in time in a Dutch colonial setting. The image depicts children in a rural scene, perhaps in the Dutch East Indies, with a focus on their everyday life and activities. The composition, with two nearly identical scenes, emphasizes the depth of the scene, creating a sense of realism and allowing viewers to experience the scene as if they were standing in the space themselves. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the colonial past and the lives of those living under Dutch rule.
