EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Javanese nanny with European baby, Magalang, 1898" captures a poignant moment in history. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this image showcases the relationship between a Javanese nanny and her European charge. In the picture, we see a young Javanese woman carrying her employer's child in a sling. The tenderness and care she exudes are evident from her gentle expression and protective stance. This portrayal highlights the unique dynamic that existed during colonial times when European families employed local nannies to care for their children. The contrast between cultures is beautifully depicted through this photograph print. It serves as a reminder of how people from different continents came together in unexpected ways during this era. The Javanese nanny represents not only her occupation but also an entire country's rich heritage. Christian Wilhelm Allers' artistic talent shines through in this lithograph, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the complexities of cultural exchange. Through his work, he invites us to reflect on our shared humanity across borders and time periods. As we gaze at this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to 19th-century Java, where love transcended boundaries and nurtured future generations.
