About this work
Photo album in reddish-brown cover with black-brown corners and spine. Part of the spine band is missing. The flyleaves are of changeant paper. The album contains 25 leaves with 45 photos of people, buildings, locations, and festivities on Ambon, including exposures of Fort Nieuw Victoria, the Chinese Camp, and of Chinese New Year. Behind the first photo, which is only attached on the left side, the title 'Ambon in vogelvlucht' is handwritten. Given the blank pages where titles are written, the album presumably originally contained more prints. Some photos were found loose and are in sleeves.
