"Leporelloalbum met foto's van Den Haag" is a photo album created by Dutch photographer Andries Jager in the 1860s. The album features a brown leather cover with gold lettering that reads "Souvenir de la Haye." The album, now located in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and landscapes of The Hague during that era. Jager, born in 1825, was known for his photographic documentation of Dutch cities, making this album a valuable historical and artistic artifact. The accordion-style album, measuring 172 mm in height, 117 mm in width and 113 mm in thickness when closed, opens to an impressive 1330 mm in length, providing a larger canvas for Jager's photographic compositions.
