Marron 1903 - 1910

"Marron," a black and white photograph taken between 1903 and 1910 by Hendrik Doijer, depicts a man standing in a cluttered outdoor space. He is wearing a long, patterned shirt with a distinctive pineapple design. The man's stance and expression are serious, suggesting a portrait or documentary purpose for the photograph. The image captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the life and dress of people in the early 20th century, particularly in Suriname where Doijer's work focused on the Marron community.
