J.J. Agema: b. 1879 – Amsterdam

Agema seems to have been a fairly prolific exhibitor in European salons. He is listed for example as having six entries in the  FIRST INTERNATIONAL SALON OF ART PHOTOGRAPHY THE HAGUE 1904 (EERSTE INTERNATIONALE SALON VAN KUNSTFOTOGRAFIE ‘s GRAVENHAGE 1904 ) entries: 634. Onstuimig meer. 635. Morgenstralen. (Morning Rays- possibly the photo seen here or variation) 636. Wintereenzaamheid. 637. Dooi.  638. Ruige vorst.  639. Door het ijs.

Editorial comment for this plate:

With the plate.   (translated)

Well, we are in the middle of summer, but the glorious spring has not yet been forgotten.

A piece of spring nature captured by Mr. Agema we hereby offer to our subscribers.

This spring has been followed by a magnificent summer! May it also go the same for Mr. Agema in his art.
