Gebouw waar nootmuskaat gekookt wordt 1875 - 1890

This 19th-century photograph by C. (fotograaf) Dietrich, titled "Gebouw waar nootmuskaat gekookt wordt" (Building where nutmeg is cooked), showcases a traditional Indonesian building with a thatched roof surrounded by lush greenery. The photo, taken sometime between 1875 and 1890, captures a snapshot of daily life in a nutmeg-producing region, featuring several figures in the foreground. The building's simple yet functional architecture, the presence of palm trees, and the workers in the scene offer a glimpse into the colonial era and the process of nutmeg production in Indonesia.
