This photograph, "Pagina 117 van fotoboek van de Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.)," by J.W. Meyster, captures a scene from a rubber plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, circa 1924-1925. The image depicts a large, well-lit room with rows of long, narrow trays filled with dried rubber. Three clocks on the wall, likely used for timekeeping in the processing of rubber, provide an intriguing glimpse into the daily operations of the plantation. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating insight into the industrial and agricultural activities of the Dutch East Indies during the colonial period.
