Twee albumbladen met namen en afbeeldingen van diverse personen en taferelen 1872 - 1875

This album from 1872 - 1875, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases an empty photo album with a decorative border. The album is a beautiful example of Victorian-era portraiture practices, where families and individuals would collect and display images of their loved ones and personal moments. Although the images are absent, the grid layout suggests that it would have displayed portraits, scenes, and mementos, creating a visual record of the artist's life and connections. This empty album, while lacking its original photographic content, speaks volumes about the history and evolution of portraiture and the personal narratives woven into these visual collections.
