He spent time in India, Indonesia, Turkey and Morocco, among other locations. Van Wisselingh was a print publisher/dealer in Amsterdam and worked with Bauer throughout his career. In a 1912 catalogue, the firm describes themselves as "dealers in high class pictures." (A few years ago, we sold an impression of this print to the National Gallery in Washington, DC.)
