About the author
Samuel Kalff (1851–1932) was a Dutch author, journalist, and editor whose writing appeared in books, magazines, and literary journals. Library and bibliography records consistently identify “S. Kalff” as Samuel Kalff, and show a substantial body of work published across several decades.
His books and essays reflect broad interests, especially Dutch colonial history, travel, art, and literature. Among the works associated with him are Een spoorwegreis in Korea, Japansche schetsen, and De "Loffelycke Compagnie", alongside many shorter pieces preserved in the Digital Library for Dutch Literature.
Kalff is remembered today mainly through those publications and archival references rather than through a widely documented public biography. I could confirm his identity, lifespan, and the range of his writing, but I did not find a reliable portrait image on the source pages I checked.
