Gezicht op een huis in de Karazee before 1886

"Gezicht op een huis in de Karazee" is a black and white photograph taken by H. Ekama before 1886. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the life and work of the Dutch Polar Expedition from 1882-1883. The photograph depicts a simple building in a desolate landscape, likely somewhere in the Kara Sea region of Russia. The image provides a valuable insight into the challenging conditions endured by the expedition members. The small size of the photograph (142 mm by 207 mm) suggests it was intended for a personal album or collection, making it a fascinating historical artifact.
