Kinderen bij een tinmijn 1900 - 1922

"Kinderen bij een tinmijn" (Children at a Tin Mine) is a stereoscopic photograph by Robert Julius Boers, taken between 1900 and 1922. The image depicts a group of children, dressed in simple clothing, standing near a tin mine in a jungle-like setting. The photograph is part of Boers’ extensive documentation of colonial life in the Dutch East Indies. Boers' work is known for its detailed portrayal of daily life and the effects of colonialism on the local population. This image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the lives of children who worked in tin mines during the early 20th century.
