This album, dating back to between 1880 and 1900, was created by various artists and houses a collection of photographs from Germany, Switzerland, the Suez Canal, and the Dutch East Indies. The album, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the 19th-century practice of documenting travel experiences through photography. Its simple burgundy cover embossed with "Reiseinneringen" ("Travel Memories") speaks to the personal nature of this photographic record. The album, measuring 335 mm x 985 mm x 483 mm, is a testament to the evolving role of photography in capturing and preserving memories of journeys across continents.
