Hindostaanse contractarbeiders in het immigrantendepot 1903 - 1910

"Hindostaanse contractarbeiders in het immigrantendepot" is a black and white photograph taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Doijer between 1903 and 1910. This photo portrays a group of South Asian laborers in an immigration depot, likely in the Netherlands, highlighting the human impact of the indentured labor system prevalent in the early 20th century. The image's composition, with figures grouped closely together, creates a sense of both confinement and solidarity amongst the laborers. Doijer's work is a valuable document of the experiences of these immigrants and their journey to a new life.
