Cacaobeplanting 1903 - 1910

"Cacaobeplanting" is a black and white photograph by Dutch artist Hendrik Doijer, taken between 1903 and 1910. It is a close-up view of a cacao tree plantation, with the focus on the tree trunks and branches, which are highlighted by their light color. The image is likely to have been taken in Indonesia, where Doijer was a photographer for the Dutch East India Company. This photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial history of Indonesia and the cultivation of cacao, an important cash crop at the time.
