About this work

Photo album in a green-black cover with a tree bark motif in relief. Cover and sheets are laced with a white cord. The album contains 24 brown sheets of thick paper with 30 photographs pasted on them. The photos are protected by beige thin paper interleaves, on which occasionally an inscription of the underlying print is noted. They are mainly shots of landscapes, beach views, boats, sailing ships and plantation buildings in the Dutch East Indies. They were probably made by Klaas Kleiterp sr. during his stay as a KNIL officer and supervising physician there, in the early 20th century.
