Abstract

The Schröder House, designed in 1924 by Gerrit Th. Rietveld (1888-1964) in close
collaboration with the client Truus Schröder-Schräder (1889-1985), has been
photographed countless times.1 Most of the photographs of this well-known
monument are architectural photographs, of its exterior or interior. Only a few
of them include one or both of the designers. One such photograph, from 1926,
appears in many publications concerning Rietveld or the Schröder House. It is an
intriguing shot; but what exactly does it tell us?
