Anton met drie Marrons 1903 - 1910

"Anton met drie Marrons" is a photograph taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Doijer between 1903 and 1910. The image depicts a young boy, Anton, posed with three Maroon men. The photograph likely captures a moment during Doijer's travels in Suriname, a former Dutch colony in South America, where Maroon communities thrived. The composition, with its focus on the young boy surrounded by the Maroon men, highlights the cultural and social interactions between the Dutch and Maroon populations during this period. The photograph serves as a historical document reflecting colonial life and the relationship between Europeans and indigenous populations.
