Emplacement bij fermenteerschuur van de Senembah Maatschappij te Batang Kuis op Sumatra c. 1900 - 1920

This anonymous photograph, taken sometime between 1900 and 1920, depicts a palm-lined road leading towards a building in the distance. It was likely taken at the Senembah Maatschappij plantation in Batang Kuis, Sumatra, during the period of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. The image offers a glimpse into the colonial landscape, highlighting the presence of European infrastructure in the midst of a lush tropical setting. The photograph's small size and the lack of a clearly visible building, though, suggest that it was likely meant for personal use or as a record of the plantation's infrastructure.
