Tinmijn 1900 - 1922

"Tinmijn" (Tin Mine) is a 1900-1922 photograph by Robert Julius Boers, depicting a mining operation in Indonesia. The photograph is a stereoscopic image, meaning it creates a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope. This image provides a glimpse into the laborious work involved in tin mining at the turn of the 20th century, offering viewers a unique historical perspective on this important industry. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Boers' ability to capture the details of daily life through the lens of his camera.
