The collection includes portraits and group shots of family and friends typical for the period but also photographs of a more experimental nature including "snap-shots" of the children in the garden. |

It is clear that the photographer not only wanted to document different family life situations but explored the possibilities of photographic expression. Many of the photographs are of a very high artistic quality. All glass negatives are stored in their original envelopes, many of them with handwritten notes on motif, date and exposure. |
