Gezicht op den Kolenstort 1921 - 1922

This anonymous photograph titled "Gezicht op den Kolenstort" (View of the Coal Dump) from 1921-1922, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant snapshot of industrial activity in the early 20th century. The image captures a wooden structure, likely a coal conveyor, with a series of carts filled with coal. The composition highlights the sturdy construction of the bridge and the starkness of the industrial setting. This black and white photograph, with its detailed depiction of the structure and the surrounding landscape, offers a valuable glimpse into the early days of industrialization.
