Interior of the Temporary House in Mäaboberg
The Lawa Railway was intended to speed up transport of the gold people hoped to find in East Suriname to the capital Paramaribo. Wesenhagen was associated with this ambitious enterprise as a medical doctor. He was an amateur photographer and shot the building
activities, as well as the tranquil interior of his makeshift house in Maäboberg. The construction of 173 kilometres of railway tracks proved too premature: hardly any gold was found.
