This photograph, "Pagina 151 van fotoboek van de Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.)", is a part of a larger photo album documenting the work of the General Association of Rubber Planters on the East Coast of Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.), taken by Dutch photographer J.W. Meyster around 1924-1925. The image shows a man processing coconuts under a simple, open-sided hut. The composition focuses on the man's labor, highlighting the importance of coconut cultivation in the region. It provides a glimpse into the daily life of workers in the rubber plantations of Sumatra during the colonial era. This photo, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a valuable historical record of the region's agricultural landscape and the lives of those who worked within it.
