Portrait of a Man from Venezuela

The oil ‘explorer’ Ter Keurs undertook a long expedition for the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij (Batavian Oil Company), a subsidiary of Shell, from Curacao to Venezuela.

Back home, he printed his 379 photographs, mounted them on cardboard and hold them in a self-tiled wooden chest.
