Why is it important?
A certain amount has already been published about Albert Hotz (1855-1930) and his business activities in Qajar Persia and the photographic and other collections he left behind. We hardly have any information about the staff members who lived and worked there for Hotz over several years. In this essay the author focusses on one of them, Hendrik Dunlop (1867-1944).
Perspectives
