Woning aan een rivier op Java c. 1857 - 1870

"Woning aan een rivier op Java" is a black and white photograph taken by the photography duo Woodbury & Page, capturing a serene scene on the island of Java in the mid-19th century. The photograph showcases a winding river snaking through a lush, tropical landscape. Palm trees dot the riverbanks, their fronds swaying gently in the breeze. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the natural beauty of Java during the colonial period. This photographic print is a rare example of early photography from Indonesia and provides valuable insights into the region's history and landscape.
