Genodigden op het terrein Possibly 1935

"Genodigden op het terrein" (Guests on the Terrain), possibly created in 1935, is a black and white photograph by an anonymous artist that depicts a group of men in white clothing and pith helmets standing in front of a wooden building in a tropical environment. The image offers a glimpse into colonial life, likely in Indonesia, capturing a moment of interaction between European colonizers and the indigenous population. The photograph’s small dimensions, 111 mm by 130 mm, suggest a personal snapshot, a record of a specific event or interaction. It serves as a valuable artifact, offering insights into the historical dynamics of colonialism and the visual culture of its era.
