This anonymous photograph titled "Tabaksveld op het Bindjey Estate van de Deli-Batavia Maatschappij op Sumatra (40 dagen na aanplant)" depicts a tobacco field on the Bindjey Estate of the Deli-Batavia Company in Sumatra, Indonesia, 40 days after planting. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1920, the image shows two men in white suits standing between rows of tobacco plants, providing a glimpse into the colonial agricultural practices of the time. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a visual record of the tobacco industry's impact on Sumatra during the Dutch colonial era.
