This anonymous Dutch photo album, dating from 1860-1920, showcases a decorative cover featuring a stylized floral pattern. The cover is adorned with a repeating design of large, light-toned flowers with long stems, silhouetted against a dark red background. The album's cover provides a glimpse into the decorative styles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its historical and cultural value. The album's modest dimensions – measuring 330 mm in height, 65 mm in thickness, and 360 mm in width – suggest its personal nature, likely intended for capturing and preserving cherished memories.
