Gezinsportret van de familie van Coeverden 1870 - 1875

"Gezinsportret van de familie van Coeverden" is a family portrait photograph by Wilhelm J. Grammann, taken between 1870 and 1875. The photograph depicts a family of five, including two parents, two young children, and a baby, arranged formally for the portrait. The family is dressed in their finest clothing, and the photograph was likely taken for a special occasion. The photograph, measuring 101 mm by 62 mm, is a typical example of 19th-century portrait photography. This type of photography was very popular in the late 19th century and allowed families to document their lives in a personal way. It was particularly important for those who were unable to afford paintings, such as the working class. The family is likely from the Netherlands, as the title translates to "Family Portrait of the Family of Coeverden." The photograph is a snapshot of a family's life in 19th-century Europe, and it offers insights into family dynamics and social customs of the time.
