Javanen 1903 - 1910

"Javanen" is a black and white photograph taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Doijer sometime between 1903 and 1910. The image depicts four Javanese men, casually posed, sitting on the ground in front of a small hut in a rural setting. The composition is informal and candid, capturing a moment of daily life for these individuals. Doijer's work often focused on the people and landscapes of the Dutch East Indies, providing valuable insights into the lives of the Javanese people during this period. This photograph, like many of Doijer's, serves as a historical document of the region, showcasing the traditions and daily activities of the Javanese people.
