Album van de Banda Eilanden en de Borobúdur op Java 1875 - 1880

This 1875-1880 album cover by photographer C. Dietrich is a prime example of the intricate decorative styles of the 19th century. The dark maroon cover features a gilded, almost baroque, arched border with a stylized, floral motif. The design evokes a sense of ornate craftsmanship and grandeur, likely reflecting the contents of the album which features photographs of the Banda Islands and the Borobudur Temple in Java, Indonesia. The album serves as a visual documentation of these locations, captured in exquisite detail through the lens of a skilled photographer.
