Fermenteerschuur, Langkat Sumatra c. 1900

This black and white photograph titled "Fermenteerschuur, Langkat Sumatra" was taken around 1900 by Heinrich Ernst & Co. It depicts a large building with a thatched roof and a long facade, likely a fermentation shed used for processing crops such as rubber. The building is situated in a rural setting with palm trees and a dirt road in the foreground. The photo offers a glimpse into the agricultural industry of Langkat Sumatra during the early 20th century. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document providing insights into the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia.
