Gezicht op een eiland in een baai bij Yangasa Levu before 1899

This black and white photograph, "Gezicht op een eiland in een baai bij Yangasa Levu," was taken before 1899 by Swiss-American naturalist Maximilian Agassiz, son of famed naturalist Louis Agassiz. The photo depicts an island in a bay near Yangasa Levu, Fiji. It shows a small, rocky island covered in vegetation with a calm body of water in the foreground, capturing the beauty of the Fijian landscape. The image, typical of Agassiz’s photographic work, is a snapshot of a place of serene beauty, a testament to his interest in documenting the natural world.
