Johannes
Hermandus Julius
Kayser was born in Harlingen (Fr) in 1842. About his youth nothing is
known. Nor seems the actual spelling of his familyname to be known;
several documents refer to him as Kaijser, while in other older sources
the name Keyzer can be found. The following is a list of Kayser's work. It's still incomplete. |
