Gezicht op de Oude Schans en de Montelbaanstoren met op de voorgrond de Kikkerbilsluis c. 1860 - 1900

"Gezicht op de Oude Schans en de Montelbaanstoren met op de voorgrond de Kikkerbilsluis" is a photograph by Andries Jager, a Dutch photographer known for his cityscapes. The image depicts a view of the Montelbaanstoren, a tower in Amsterdam, and the "Kikkerbilsluis" (Frog's-Beak Lock) in the foreground. The detail of the lock and the bustling scene of ships and people on the canal provides a glimpse into the lively cityscape of Amsterdam during the late 19th century. This photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the photographer's skill in capturing the urban landscape through the lens of his camera.
