Huis op plantage Johanna Catharina te Suriname c. 1918

"Huis op plantage Johanna Catharina te Suriname" (c. 1918) by Dutch photographer Theodoor Brouwers (1875-1932) captures a serene plantation scene in Suriname. The image shows a traditional wooden house, with a large veranda, surrounded by lush vegetation, a palm tree in the foreground, and a small bridge over a canal. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Brouwers' focus on documenting the colonial architecture and landscapes of Suriname. His work offers a glimpse into the daily life and environment of the plantation era in this South American country.
