His approach combined the accuracy of a navigator with the eye of a draughtsman. In lithographs such as Gezicht te Anjer Java and Waterval te Tjieroek Betong, he recorded the geography of the Indonesian archipelago. His style avoids the exaggerations common in travel art from this period. He focused on the structural reality of the terrain and the specific flow of water. His lithographs also record the exact placement of colonial outposts.

Modern collectors value his work for its historical clarity and clean compositions. His lithographs of Java and Lebanon document a world before significant industrial expansion. The balance between technical survey and artistic observation makes these pieces suitable for structured interiors. They provide a record of exploration and documentation that remains relevant to contemporary home decor.
