Fotoalbum met zestig foto's van tabaks- en koffieplantages op Sumatra, Indonesië c. 1890 - 1900

This album contains 60 photographs taken in Sumatra, Indonesia, around 1890-1900, by Heinrich Ernst & Co. The photographs document tobacco and coffee plantations and are a valuable historical record of these industries in the Dutch East Indies. This is a rare example of a collection of photographs showcasing the daily life and working conditions of laborers on these plantations, giving a unique glimpse into the colonial era. The album, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful artifact showcasing the impact of industrialization on the Indonesian landscape.
