This 19th-century anonymous work, "Aan een moord gerelateerde voorstellingen," is a collection of photographic evidence related to a murder case. The images, including a portrait of a young suspect, a victim's body, and various objects like a knife and watches, were likely compiled for a criminal investigation or as part of a publication on criminology. This type of visual documentation, combining photographic evidence with written text, was a developing practice in the late 19th century and provided a new, starkly real approach to depicting crime and its consequences. The artwork offers a glimpse into the history of criminal justice and the early use of photography in forensic investigation.
