Pagina 94 van fotoboek van de Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.) c. 1924 - 1925

This photograph, taken by J.W. Meyster around 1924-1925, documents the transportation of palm oil in East Sumatra. It captures a scene of a boat, likely a barge, loaded with palm oil barrels being lifted from the water onto a platform, perhaps for further processing or shipping. The image provides a glimpse into the industrialization of the rubber and palm oil industries in colonial Indonesia, and the intricate infrastructure developed for the efficient handling and transport of these commodities.
