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)

Mr. J.J. Agema, gave us the negative for “Verpoozing”, an artificial light recording, for reproduction in the Weekly. The recording was made with a Krugener Delta-Camera and exposed with a Bayer flash-light, after having let the candlelight work for a few minutes. The photo, as you can see, was taken almost entirely against the light. Our thanks to Mr. Agema.
