"Shots in Amsterdam, Warnemünde, and Warnsborn" (1889-1893) by Willem Frederik Piek Jr. is a photograph capturing the playful moment of three men on the deck of a ship. The composition is dynamic, with the central figure leaping dramatically mid-air, while two others stand nearby. The image is framed within a circular border, adding to its vintage charm. Piek, a Dutch photographer known for his maritime photographs, captured a candid snapshot of life at sea, showcasing the camaraderie and lighthearted moments shared by sailors. This small-format print, measuring just 100 mm by 100 mm, is a testament to the power of photography to preserve fleeting moments in time.
Comments
The photograph of Herengracht was the key for identifying the album as belonging to the Pieks. It was taken from the house at number 258, where the family lived. We see the couple and their son with his classmates on an excursion to the Oostzee. The street photograph is an impression of German kaiser Wilhelm II’s visit to Amsterdam. The round, 9 centimetre photographs were taken with the improved Kodak No. 2.
