Gouddelvers op placer de Jong 1903 - 1910

"Gouddelvers op placer de Jong" is a black and white photograph by Dutch artist Hendrik Doijer, created between 1903 and 1910. The image depicts two men standing outside a hut in a dense, tropical forest. The men are likely gold miners, as suggested by the title, which translates to "Gold diggers on placer de Jong." Doijer's photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of gold miners in the Dutch East Indies during the early 20th century. The photograph's small dimensions contribute to its intimate and almost voyeuristic feel, drawing the viewer closer to the subject matter.
