This photograph, created by an unknown artist between 1900 and 1920, depicts three European men standing in front of a tree in a tropical setting. The men are likely managers or owners of the Batang Serangang company, as indicated by the inscription. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the photographic documentation of colonial life and commercial ventures during this period. The image provides a glimpse into the European presence in Southeast Asia and the relationship between European business interests and the local environment.
