Borstbeeld van Joan Munter, burgemeester van Amsterdam, door Barth. Eggers 1876

This photograph, taken by Pieter Oosterhuis in 1876, depicts a bust of Joan Munter, the former mayor of Amsterdam, by the sculptor Barth. Eggers. The bust, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows Munter in a realistic pose, his hands clasped in front of him, and his expression thoughtful and serious. The photograph, a testament to Oosterhuis's skill in capturing detail, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the importance of historical figures like Joan Munter in Dutch history.
