c1900. Sixteen photographs consisting of 14 printout paper photographs and two silver gelatin photographs, most captioned in Dutch in ink on album page below image, 8.5 x 14.2cm (approx. each). Minor scuffs, surface loss or strikethrough due to glue verso to some images, all tipped to original album pages.

Locations include the old Dutch settlement of Fort de Kock (now known as Bukittinggi), Kloof van Harau, Mount Singgalang and Mount Merapi (two volcanoes in the area). This album was most likely compiled by Professor Lieven Ferdinand de Beaufort, a Dutch biologist who, in 1903, participated in the North New Guinea Expedition.
