"Exploring the World Through Jong's Lens: From Halong Bay to Westminster, Mahjong to Fancy Dress" Embark on a captivating journey with Jong as we delve into his diverse collection of snapshots from around the globe. Starting in Vietnam's breathtaking Halong Bay, where towering limestone pillars meet crystal-clear waters, we are instantly transported to a world of natural wonders. Moving across continents, our next stop takes us to London's iconic Thames at Westminster. Here, captured by Jong's skilled hand and signed with pride, we witness the timeless beauty of this historic landmark. But it is not just landscapes that captivate Jong; he also has an eye for human connection. In one frame, people gather by a swimming pool in the USA, engrossed in a game of Mahjong - their laughter echoing through the air. Jong's fascination with Mahjong extends beyond mere photography; an advertisement dating back to 1925 showcases his appreciation for this ancient Chinese game that brings people together across cultures and generations. Switching gears once again, Jan de Jong paints a picturesque landscape along Schie mill cityscape. His brushstrokes bring life to every detail as we stroll along towpaths and immerse ourselves in the tranquility of nature. Fancy dress becomes another avenue for creativity as individuals transform themselves into fantastical characters under Jong's lens. Their vibrant costumes ignite imagination and remind us all of the joy found in self-expression. Pieter de Josselin de Jong immortalizes Charles Rochussen through portraiture - capturing not only physical features but also glimpses into personalities and stories untold within each stroke. Returning to Jan de Jong’s work yet again, we find ourselves amidst bustling cityscapes like Vierleeuwenbrug Koningsbrug – bridges connecting communities while showcasing architectural marvels against urban backdrops. Our voyage concludes where it began - Halong Bay beckons once more with its ethereal beauty.
