"Dierentuin, portretten en Wajang Topeng" (Zoo, Portraits, and Wayang Topeng) is a collection of six photographs taken by Woodbury & Page between 1864 and 1866. It captures the diverse scenery and culture of Indonesia, showcasing a zoo entrance, portraits of individuals, and a performance of Wayang Topeng (masked shadow puppet theater). The album is a valuable record of 19th-century Indonesian life and serves as a visual journey into the country's artistic heritage and societal customs. The Rijksmuseum holds this album, offering a glimpse into the colonial era through the lens of photography.
