Fotoalbum met 115 foto's van een verschillende reizen van Loentje Onnen en Frank Furnée naar Griekenland, Turkije, Frankrijk en Egypte, 1926-1927 1926 - 1927

This photo album, made around 1926 or '27 by Carolina Onnen, has this totally gorgeous textured cover. I love the way the paper wrinkles, like folds in fabric or tiny mountain ranges under a dusky purple sky. Imagine Onnen carefully choosing this particular paper for her travelogue. What did she think when she touched it? Was it the color that grabbed her, or the way the light catches on all those little peaks and valleys? I can picture her arranging photos inside, each one a little window into her journey through Greece, Turkey, France, and Egypt. And it makes you wonder – what was it like to travel then? What did she see, who did she meet, and what did she want to remember? I love the way she put these photographs together into a book, a collection of visual memories. It reminds me that art and memory are always overlapping, always in conversation, always inspiring each other.
