Gevel van het Banqueting House te Londen c. 1850 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph of the Banqueting House in London was taken by Valentine Blanchard, a prominent photographer in the mid-19th century. Blanchard's use of the stereoscopic format, which creates the illusion of three-dimensionality, allows viewers to experience the grandeur of the building as if they were standing before it. The Banqueting House, a historic landmark in London, was built by Inigo Jones in 1619, and its iconic facade is captured in detail by Blanchard's lens. The photograph offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of Victorian London, highlighting the enduring presence of classical architecture in the city.
