"Surinaamse Caraïben op het erf van Tubbergen en Daam," a cyanotype photograph taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Doijer between 1903 and 1910, depicts a group of Surinamese Carib people in front of a wooden fence. The photograph is a snapshot of daily life and offers a glimpse into the culture and traditions of the Carib people, particularly their attire and family structures. Doijer, known for his work documenting indigenous cultures, created this intimate portrait, capturing the faces and stances of his subjects. The image serves as a historical record of the Carib people in Suriname, highlighting their presence and cultural identity within the Dutch colonial context.
