Nederlands familiealbum met dertig foto's 1860 - 1900

"Nederlands familiealbum met dertig foto's" is an album of 30 photographs dating from 1860 to 1900. It's anonymous and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The album cover is a rich burgundy leather embossed with an intricate pattern of overlapping circles and crosses, with a central oval space that would have likely displayed the family name. The gold clasps and the album's small size are characteristic of the era and its use as a personal, intimate object, creating a window into a Dutch family's life during the late 19th century.
