About this work
The pages in this album feature a cross-section of the middle management at the Netherlands tin mining enterprise on the Indonesian island of Banka. Chinese, Javanese, and Indo-Europeans worked side by side. The lower level personnel were also recruited from elsewhere as contract labourers. They worked in deplorable conditions.
