This handwritten letter, dated "20 Sept 87" is a testament to the artistic legacy of Louis Apol, a prominent Dutch photographer born in 1850. Apol's work, often focusing on portraiture and landscapes, contributed significantly to the development of photography in the Netherlands. The letter, penned in Dutch, likely discusses Apol's work and its reception, offering a glimpse into the artistic circles of late 19th-century Europe. The Rijksmuseum, where this letter is housed, preserves Apol's creative contribution to Dutch art history.
