Hi, Looks like an interesting article. I'll be working on the review and post it within the next day or so.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 02:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Overview
The article is very well-written and interesting. There are inline citations to reliable sources. Since the sources are Dutch, I will assume that the content was properly paraphrased. The layout, sections, etc. follow Manual of Style guidelines. The article is written with a neutral point of view and covers the subject well, without going into unnecessary detail. It is stable. There are a couple of Meesseen's photographs in the article, which are in the public domain and are properly tagged in commons. I tried to find an image of Meessen and some additional further reading items in English, with no luck.

Content

 * In the intro, "Meessen's first experience in the Indies were in that field." - do you mean "experiences" or "was"?
 * Yes, done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * In "...where the Meessens established a photographic studio", should it be photography studio?
 * Yes, done. (facepalm) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding: "Meessen worked alone, never taking a partner while in the colony, and documented the land and people in the colony" is the first "in the colony" needed - or is there a way to rephrase one of them?
 * Reworked to "Indies", as otherwise we'd include his work with Vermeulen. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
