CDV album ca 1890 - 1912 Viggo Andersen flutist engraved on lock initials V.A. (father or son), early female professional photographer from Denmark Roskilde Dorothea Nielsen from her Roskilde studio. In those days professionals could paint portrays and shoot them.

The album is in decent conditon, velvet, silverplated engraved art nouveau lock and gold on the cartonboard edges. Viggo was a renown flutist, his father was a teacher in the art of the flute and music. He left his wife and children behind to later play for the big Theodore Thomas Orchestra from California.

Funny detail, he wrote a piece called Fantasy on the Royal Dutch anthem, I found the album in Holland. One day he invited all his friends at his party and then committed suicide in front of them.

Speculation runs in to the direction of remorse for having abandoned his family. In the album we find Cartes des Visites or CDV’s and Cabinet cards, these are the larger ones, all in mint condition with names of the portrayed persons written on them.

It is really special this album. Why?;

1. Name of owner engraved and mentioned in album.

2. Mint condition of all cards.

3. Famous person committing suicide, an issue with which I have concerned my self for a long time, especially, why people commit suicide and suicide with artist and writers and suicide in Non-Western cultures (anthropology).

4. Some connection with us Dutch, see Fantasy theme on the Royal Dutch anthem. (Wilhelmus van Nassauwe… M.v Sint Allegonde).

5. Dorothea or Dorthea Nielsen, Maiden name Andersen (coincidences?) just like Viggo.

6. Most cards are from this female Photographer based in Roskilde.

7. All the cards are from one family and their relatives.

8. Unique historical document especially for Denmark and her city of Roskilde.

 

One thing is also unique, there were almost no female photographers in those days the world was very conservative and the first steps for feminism, by sufragettes were just beginning to take place.

Another coincidens is the name, Dorothea, see Dorethea Lange;

- Dorothea Lange (born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn; May 26, 1895 – October 11, 1965) was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange's photographs influenced the development of documentary photography and humanized the consequences of the Great Depression.[1]

It was also not a job for physical weak people for one had to carry glass, metal, teakwood tripods and obscura boxes. All in all it was a lucky acquisition for my personal collection. M
