This photograph by J.W. Meyster, taken around 1924-1925, is a page from a photo book documenting the work of the Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.). The image shows a worker in a rubber plantation in Tanah Datar, Sumatra, Indonesia, inspecting the rubber bark during the processing of rubber. The photograph offers a glimpse into the labor-intensive methods used in rubber production during this era. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the use of photography for industrial documentation and provides valuable insight into the history of rubber cultivation in Indonesia.
