From the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Free to download, adapt and use — no permission needed.
Photo album with 200 photos on 25 leaves with insert passe-partouts in carte-de-visite format. Two photos are mounted separately. The photos, mainly portraits and some city views, relate to former Dutch East Indies in the period 1850-1900. Depicted are mainly: Chinese, Singaporeans (especially by Lambert & Co), Indonesians (by Woodbury & Page), and Japanese (by an anonymous photographer). The first photo is a portrait of Governor-General Pieter Mijer. Most people are depicted with merchandise, in uniform or traditional clothing, or during a ritual. The diversity in age, gender, and activities is great, making it a representation of the East and Southeast Asian population of that period. A handwritten list with descriptions per photo is included.
