Spoor langs suikerriet c. 1900s - 1910s

"Spoor langs suikerriet" (Track along Sugarcane) is an anonymous black and white photograph of a track and canal in a sugarcane field, taken sometime between 1900-1910s. The image, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of the Dutch East Indies landscape, emphasizing the importance of agriculture and transportation in the region during this period. The long perspective and the parallel lines of the track and canal create a sense of depth and draw the viewer's eye into the heart of the plantation.
