"Gezicht op het Leidseplein met links het American Hotel (Américain) en rechts de stadsschouwburg" is a photograph by Dutch artist Andries Jager, taken between 1860 and 1890. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a bustling scene in the Leidseplein, a central square in Amsterdam. The prominent buildings in the image include the American Hotel on the left and the Stadsschouwburg (City Theater) on the right. Jager captures the daily life of the square, with several pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages passing through. The photograph is a valuable document of urban life in 19th-century Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the city's architectural development and social activity.
