Questions
I have a couple of questions that may hopefully help to further improve the article: Thanks. – Editør (talk) 09:34, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The lead says that Meessen "was a Dutch photographer who took over 250 portraits and landscapes of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) between 1864 and 1870" seems like a rather limited definition. Where does this number of 250 come from, the album he made for the king? And did he only photograph in the East and in those six or seven years?
 * The article says he died in Opsterland, but this is an administrative entity and not a settlement. The obituary mentions Beetsterzwaag, is this the place where he died?
 * If he worked as an architect for several years, are there any other buildings he designed, besides the school that was not even completed by him or during his lifetime?

Photo of subject
There is currently no photo of the subject in this article. Given that he was a photographer, albeit an early one, I would have expected there to be something. Can anything be found? &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 19:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
