Gezicht op de kuststrook van Menton met nabij gelegen plaatsen c. 1886 - 1896

This photograph, titled "Gezicht op de kuststrook van Menton met nabij gelegen plaatsen," depicts the Pont St. Louis bridge in Menton, France. Created by Dutch photographer Henry Pauw van Wieldrecht between 1886 and 1896, this black and white image captures the bridge's imposing archway nestled between towering cliffs and lush vegetation. Van Wieldrecht's focus on the bridge's structure and the surrounding landscape showcases his keen eye for detail and his interest in the beauty of natural and man-made elements. The photograph is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the picturesque French Riviera during the late 19th century.
