Gezicht op het voormalige kantoor van Jacob Ankersmit en Café La Poste in Amsterdam c. 1860 - 1880

This black and white photograph, likely taken between 1860 and 1880 by the Gebr. van R. studio, captures a street scene in Amsterdam. The image showcases a corner building with a cafe named "Cafe La Poste" on the ground floor, visible through the large windows. The building across the street features an ornate facade with multiple windows and a grand entrance. The detailed depiction of the architecture and urban life makes it a fascinating snapshot of Amsterdam in the mid-19th century. This photograph, likely a carte-de-visite, is a fine example of 19th-century street photography.
