Kinderen en vee langs een spoorbaan in Nederlands-Indië 1912

This black and white photograph by Onnes Kurkdjian, titled "Kinderen en vee langs een spoorbaan in Nederlands-Indië" (Children and cattle along a railway track in the Dutch East Indies), captures a moment in time in 1912. The image shows a winding railway track through a hilly, rural landscape, with two children and a herd of cattle in the foreground. This photograph exemplifies the photographic documentation of daily life during the colonial period in the Dutch East Indies. Kurkdjian's work, like many others from the era, captures the changing landscape and the impact of modernization on the region.
