Bananenbomen 1900 - 1910

"Bananenbomen" (Banana Trees) is a black and white photograph created by C. Kersten & Co. between 1900 and 1910. The photograph depicts a group of individuals standing in a banana plantation, likely in a tropical region. The image captures the dense foliage of the banana trees, with their characteristic broad leaves, creating a sense of depth and enclosure. The individuals in the photograph provide a human scale to the scene and highlight the relationship between people and their environment. The photograph is a snapshot of daily life in a banana plantation, highlighting the importance of this agricultural product and its role in the economy. The small dimensions of the photograph, measuring 90 mm by 135 mm, suggest it may have been intended for personal use or as a part of a collection of images documenting life in a tropical region.
