Gezicht op een huis met een erf langs het water, vermoedelijk in Fuzhou c. 1890 - 1895

This black and white photograph, “Gezicht op een huis met een erf langs het water, vermoedelijk in Fuzhou”, was taken by Dutch photographer Hendrik Dunlop (1867-1944) around 1890-1895. It captures a serene scene of a traditional Chinese house situated near a waterfront. The house, partially obscured by a large tree, is characterized by its distinctive architecture, featuring a wooden gate and a tiled roof. The calm water in the foreground, with a small boat moored, adds to the tranquil ambiance. The photograph is an example of the documentary photographic style that Dunlop was known for, providing a glimpse into daily life in Fuzhou, China, during the late 19th century.
