EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate machinery used in processing sugar cane during the late 19th century in the Dutch East Indies, now known as modern-day Indonesia. The image is believed to have been taken by Ohannes Kurkdjian, a Turkish-born photographer renowned for his documentation of historical moments. The photograph showcases a bustling factory or plant where workers diligently operate the machines that play a crucial role in transforming raw sugar cane into refined sugar. Each worker can be seen immersed in their tasks, highlighting the labor-intensive nature of this process. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of Indonesian history when colonial powers like the Dutch held sway over its territories. It serves as a valuable archival record shedding light on both technological advancements and colonialism's impact on industries such as sugar production. The aged appearance of this print adds to its allure, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. It transports us back to a time when these massive machines were at the forefront of industrial progress, symbolizing human ingenuity and innovation. As we observe this historical artifact, we are reminded of how far we have come since then while also appreciating our roots and acknowledging those who labored tirelessly within these factories. This photograph stands as a testament to their hard work and dedication that shaped not only Indonesia's past but also contributed to global trade and economic development.
