EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Otto van Rees (1823-1892), the illustrious Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1884 to 1888. Van Rees' distinguished career in colonial administration is reflected in his formal attire, featuring a velvet jacket adorned with intricate gold and metallic thread embroidery and floral designs. The jacket is paired with a decorative coat, a crisp white shirt, and black gloves. Van Rees' moustache and facial hair add to his authoritative and dignified appearance. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the Low Countries during this period. The use of high-quality fabrics, such as velvet, and the meticulous needlework showcase the rich heritage of European textile art. The portrait also highlights the political and colonial significance of the Dutch East Indies during this time. The unknown creator masterfully captures the essence of Van Rees' occupation as a Governor-General, emphasizing his professionalism and the importance of his role in Dutch colonialism. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of European political and colonial history, as well as a testament to the artistry of the textile industry during the 19th century.
