Piet Idenburg, Anton, To, vrouw van Brussel en kind bij miereneter 1903 - 1910

This photograph, titled "Piet Idenburg, Anton, To, vrouw van Brussel en kind bij miereneter," was taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Doijer between 1903 and 1910. The image depicts a group of individuals posing with a dead anteater in front of a rustic building. The composition and subject matter are reminiscent of a "cabinet card" format, a popular style of photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph provides a glimpse into the personal lives of a family during a period of rapid social and technological change. The presence of the anteater suggests an interest in the natural world and the exotic, common themes in the era of colonialism and exploration.
