This 1902 photograph titled "Groepsportret van de familie Kessler in Homberg" by Geldolph Adriaan Kessler shows a large group of people gathered in a park. The image is divided in two, seemingly as a stereoscopic photograph, highlighting the detail of the group. The individuals are posed formally, suggesting a family portrait capturing a moment of togetherness. The photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the Kessler family and their life in Homberg. It is an excellent example of a photographic genre known as "group portraiture" which was popular at the turn of the 20th century.
