Editorial comment for this plate:

With the plate.   (translated)

Our esteemed collaborator Mr. Adr. Boer in Baarn again gives us a beautiful gum print for reproduction. “Winter in the forest” is the title.

Although we hope that spring and summer are near, this beautiful landscape will undoubtedly please our subscribers.

Adriaan Boer : 1875-1940

Biography- excerpt: Adriaan Boer began his career primarily as a portrait photographer. In 1893 he opened a studio in Nijkerk and in 1897 he moved to the Hoofdstraat in Baarn where he would live until 1912. During the summer months his mother rented out part of the house to boarding guests. The studio would later be moved to the Teding van Berkhoutstraat on the site of the later post office . He quickly made a name for himself and received important assignments, including from the Royal Family . Gradually, however, he also devoted himself to artistic photography, in the style of pictorialism. He photographed landscapes, farm scenes, farm interiors, still lifes and artistic portraits. The costumes of Spakenburg inspired him to photograph Brabant and Zeeland costumes. He took photos for advertising brochures for the Baarn dahlia grower Dick Hornsveld. He used the technique of heliogravure, which he learned in London , for art calendars. He preferred to work in bromoil, carbon and gum printing . In 1909 he won the gold medal at the international photography salon in Dresden. ⎯Wikipedia
