Tinmijn te Soengeiliat 1900 - 1922

"Tinmijn te Soengeiliat" is a stereoscopic photograph taken by Dutch photographer Robert Julius Boers between 1900 and 1922. The image shows a group of miners working inside a tin mine in Soengeiliat, a region in Indonesia known for its tin deposits. Boers's photography focused on documenting everyday life in the Dutch East Indies, capturing the realities of labor and industrialization. The stereoscopic format, which creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a special viewer, adds depth and realism to the scene. The photograph is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the working conditions of miners in the early 20th century.
