Weg door bergachtig landschap op Java c. 1857 - 1870

"Weg door bergachtig landschap op Java" (c. 1857-1870) by Woodbury & Page is a black and white photograph depicting a winding path through a dense, verdant forest on the Indonesian island of Java. The photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the lush landscape with a focus on the natural beauty of the region. The composition features a foreground of foliage, a pathway leading into the distance, and a majestic mountain range looming in the background. This work exemplifies the early photographic exploration of colonial landscapes and contributes to the documentation of Java's natural beauty during the 19th century.
