Woonhuis 1886

"Woonhuis," a black and white photograph by Kassian Céphas, captured in 1886, showcases a simple house nestled amidst lush greenery. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, presents a serene scene of a colonial-era dwelling with its facade bathed in soft light. The photograph is a testament to Céphas's keen eye for capturing the everyday beauty of colonial life in Indonesia during the late 19th century, providing a glimpse into the architectural style and the tranquil surroundings of the time.
