He also served as the vice-consul for Belgium. He gifted the album to his friend Cobus in 1885 possibly as a keepsake for a trip they undertook together.At least a third of the photographs show important buildings and other landmarks in Sydney including the Government House the Town Hall the General Post Office the Australian Museum the different colleges of the University of Sydney the Department of Lands building and the public library in Bent Street that has been demolished in 1967. Most of these buildings were relatively new at the time these photographs were taken. Also included are photographs of Hyde park and the Captain Cook monument the Man O'War steps Argyle cut Mrs Macquarie's Chair and the botanic gardens. The other photographs in the album show the towns and nature surrounding Sydney such as the Katoomba Falls the Three Sisters Govetts Leap and Mount Victoria in the Blue Mountains the Zig Zag railway the Fitzroy Falls Fort Denison Broken Bay various views of the Nepean River as well as four portraits of Australian Aboriginals.With a contemporary French inscription on the verso of the first flyleaf "Mon cher Cobus Je prie de vouloir accepter cet album en souvenir de nos bons rapporte. Votre dévote Clément van de Velde. Sydney 10 may 1885.". The binding has been professionally restored the boards are somewhat scratched and dented. The leaves are warped and foxed the lower corners of some of the leaves are torn without affecting the photographs the photographs have somewhat discoloured. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
