Gebouwen van een tinonderneming te Pangkalpinang c. 1900 - 1920

This anonymous black and white photograph, titled "Gebouwen van een tinonderneming te Pangkalpinang," depicts the buildings of a tin mining company in Pangkalpinang, Indonesia, sometime between 1900 and 1920. The photograph captures a simple scene of the buildings and grounds of the company, including the buildings themselves, a gathering of people, and the surrounding landscape. The image is a valuable document of the early 20th century in Indonesia, giving us a glimpse into the lives of people working in the tin mining industry during this era. The photograph, currently in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the important role that photography played in documenting the daily lives of people in colonial Indonesia.
