Portret van twee onbekende jongens 1898 - 1916

"Portret van twee onbekende jongens" (Portrait of Two Unknown Boys) is a 19th-century photograph by Hermann Schlüter, capturing two young boys posed in their clothing. The portrait, likely taken for a family album, exemplifies the popular genre of portrait photography during that era. The boys' earnest expressions and simple, yet well-dressed attire suggest a middle-class background. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring 104 mm by 65 mm, are typical of the time, reflecting the format of traditional cabinet cards. Schlüter's work, though not widely known, provides a glimpse into daily life and family portraiture of the late 19th century.
