Porte de Bourgogne te Bordeaux 1862 - 1876

"Porte de Bourgogne te Bordeaux," a stereoscopic photograph by French photographer Jean Andrieu, captures the architectural grandeur of the Porte de Bourgogne in Bordeaux. Created between 1862 and 1876, the image presents a detailed view of the archway, framed by classical columns and adorned with intricate details. The stereoscopic format, employing two slightly offset perspectives, creates a sense of depth and realism, inviting the viewer to experience the scene as if they were standing before it. Andrieu's work exemplifies the burgeoning field of photography in the 19th century, documenting not only the built environment but also offering glimpses into daily life in Bordeaux.
