EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Transporting a shipment of tobacco" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century in Sumatra, Indonesia. The image showcases an important aspect of the region's agricultural industry - the transportation of tobacco. In this scene, we witness a bustling river filled with boats and wagons as they work together to transport the valuable cargo. The Dutch East Indies' influence is evident through their colonial presence and involvement in Sumatra's tobacco cultivation and processing. The composition beautifully captures the synergy between land and water transportation methods. Wagons hitched to horses navigate alongside carts pulled by workers, while boats gracefully glide across the river carrying more loads of tobacco. This harmonious blend of traditional farming practices and modern means of transport highlights both the rich history and progressiveness within Southeast Asian agriculture. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes clear that this chromolitho print serves not only as an educational tool but also as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. It reminds us that throughout history, transportation has played a vital role in connecting people, cultures, and industries worldwide. With its vibrant colors and intricate details meticulously captured by European School artists from centuries ago, this artwork offers us a glimpse into Sumatra's past - where agriculture thrived amidst breathtaking landscapes shaped by rivers flowing with life-giving waters.
