About this work

There are a substantial number of albums in the Netherlands of entrepreneurs, administrators, military men, and engineers who were stationed for some time in the Dutch East Indies. Fontein was a chemical engineer at the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij (Batavian Oil Company) and sailed from Harlingen to Pekalongan. With over 160 photographs, this album bears witness to both his time in the Netherlands and years in the tropics.
