Kaisersveer Papierfabriek:

An aerial view of the factory owned by their mother’s brother where both William and Ernest Archer worked in the latter decade of the 19th century. The long line of trees (also seen in some of William’s box-camera shots) alongside the linear roads are very clear in this view. William’s 1898 diary shows details of his extraordinarily long working hours at this location and the captions to his photographs provide glimpses into a way of life which included the use of dog-cars for certain types of transport in those days at the very end of Queen Victoria’s long reign.
