Henricus Marinus Neeb

His father, P. Neeb, was also a military doctor. Neeb studied medicine in Leiden, Netherlands and joined the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) in 1892. He was stationed at the military hospital of Surabaya and other stations before being dispatched to Kotaraja in June 1903. He served under Gotfried Coenraad Ernst van Daalen's command in the regions of Gayo, Alas and Batak, and remained in Aceh until at least 24 November 1907, when he photographed scenes in Sidikalang. Photographs from a medical congress in Manila to study American hospitals there in 1910 are the only known photographs taken later in his career. He died on 15 September 1933 and is buried in Bandung. Kempees, Van Daalen's aide-de-camp, published some of his photos in his 1905 book and notes that Neeb utilized a portable dark room. Neeb included detailed captions on his prints.
