This photograph, taken by Siegfried Rosenthal between 1855 and 1885, captures a serene pond nestled within the gardens of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. The composition highlights the symmetry and order of the palace grounds, featuring a central pond surrounded by manicured foliage and classical statues. The photograph, a testament to Rosenthal’s photographic talent, serves as a glimpse into the grandeur of the Prussian royal gardens.
