Amsterdam, Reguliersbreestraat 1890 - 1920

This postcard by H.S. Speelman depicts a view of Reguliersbreestraat, a canal-side street in Amsterdam. Created between 1890 and 1920, the image captures the street's bustling atmosphere. The central tram, a common mode of transportation at the time, provides a sense of movement. The architecture lining the street, including the Postbank, showcases Amsterdam's traditional brick buildings with ornate facades. The detailed rendering of the buildings and figures contributes to the postcard's charm. The street scene provides a glimpse into the daily life of Amsterdam during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
