Familiealbum van een Chinees-Indische familie in Weltevreden, ca. 1935 c. 1935 - 1936

This anonymous photograph album, titled "Familiealbum van een Chinees-Indische familie in Weltevreden, ca. 1935," is a significant example of personal photography from the Dutch East Indies. Dating back to around 1935-1936, the album's cover features a dark blue background with a gold, repeating diamond pattern, a popular design motif during this era. The album, now a historical artifact, provides a glimpse into the lives of a Chinese-Indonesian family in Weltevreden, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, during the colonial period. It is a testament to the practice of preserving family history through photography in a time when the medium was becoming increasingly accessible.
