Albumblad zonder foto's c. 1875 - 1915

"Albumblad zonder foto's" (Album Leaf without Photographs) by S. Moro is a blank album page that was likely intended to be used for photo album purposes. The page is divided into six rectangular sections, each with a handwritten label, such as “Indië” and "Nederland". The blank page is a tangible reminder of a personal project from the past, suggesting the possibility of photographs once occupying the spaces. This artwork, dating from circa 1875 to 1915, is an example of a blank artistic canvas, and a small object that can be utilized to understand the material culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
