Fotoalbum met 83 foto's en 2 prenten, vermoedelijk Frans 1860 - 1900

This 19th-century album, likely of French origin, is a prime example of the burgeoning popularity of photography in the mid-to-late 19th century. The embossed leather cover, featuring a central shield and intricate geometric designs, hints at the album's intended purpose as a cherished family heirloom. The album contains 83 photographs and 2 prints, offering a glimpse into the lives and experiences of a bygone era. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this album, with its intricate details and personal contents, speaks to the enduring power of photographic memory.
