Captain Fedor Schulze (1836-1908) was a German military officer who served with distinction in the Dutch forces and settled in Batavia where he became a naturalised Dutchman. Shulze arrived in South East Asia in 1858 and later retired from the military, after which he started as a publisher and photographer.  The collection includes 24 views and 19 portraits of Java and Bangkok.
