English:
Reproduction from negative. The Dutch East Indies was one of the largest tin producers of the world, accounting for 20 percent of world production in 1940. Most tin came from the islands of Banka and Billiton Singkep, all located on the east coast of Sumatra. Many of the miners, like those shown here, were ethnic Chinese.
Nederlands:
Repronegatief. Nederlands-Indië was één van de belangrijkste tinproducenten ter wereld, rond 1940 goed voor 20% van de wereldproductie. De meeste tin kwam van de eilanden Banka, Billiton en Singkep, alle gelegen voor Sumatra's oostkust. Op Banka had de VOC rond 1710 tin ontdekt. De Compagnie probeerde van de Sultan van Palembang het tinmonopolie los te krijgen. De exploitatie van de Bankamijnen was zo goed als geheel in handen van Chinese mijnwerkers. Vanaf 1861 werd de tinwinning door het Gouvernement uitgeoefend, sedert 1924 samen met de Billiton Mij. middels de oprichting van de Gemeenschappelijke Mijnbouwmaatschappij Billiton. (P. Boomgaard, 2001). Arbeiders in de tinmijn te Banka
