Twee kainweefsters aan een weefgetouw op Sumatra 1890 - 1912

"Twee kainweefsters aan een weefgetouw op Sumatra" (Two women weaving on a loom in Sumatra) is a black and white photograph by Dutch photographer Christiaan Benjamin Nieuwenhuis. This photograph, taken between 1890 and 1912, captures two women seated at a simple loom in a rural setting in Sumatra. The image provides a glimpse into the traditional textile production methods of the region during the colonial era. The photograph's realism and focus on daily life are characteristic of Nieuwenhuis' work, which documented the cultures and landscapes of Indonesia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
