Onbekende mensen in een roeiboot en op een uitkijktoren 1912

This is a page from an album by Carolina (Loentje) Frederika Onnen, featuring two black and white photographs. It's so intimate, like we're thumbing through the artist's personal memories. The top photograph captures a serene scene—figures in a rowboat glide across a tranquil body of water, reeds swaying gently in the background. Down below, two figures stand on a watch tower, gazing out. Were they looking at the boat? What were they looking for? You can see a sign attached to the watch tower with the words "Drink Bieren". These images act like visual poems, reflecting on the way Onnen experienced her surroundings. The album page becomes a kind of landscape painting, with photographs in place of brushstrokes. Each image resonates with the others, creating a sense of wholeness within the artist's vision. The play of light and shadow is evocative, like flickers of memory that remain long after they're gone.
