About this portrait
The name on the back of this carte de visite is noted as W.F.H. Kramer; further identification could not be confirmed. Judging by the beret with anchor insignia and the many decorations, this is a senior naval officer. The photo was produced by C. van der Aa & J. Chrispijn (‘Atelier Rembrandt’), Verdronkenoord, Alkmaar (with a branch on the Kanaalweg in Den Helder) — their partnership lasted from 1884 to 1895.
