Gezicht op een huis before 1883

"Gezicht op een huis" (View of a House) is a photograph by Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney, taken before 1883. It depicts a quaint, rural house, partially obscured by trees, captured in a stark, black and white composition. Abney, a renowned scientist and pioneer of photography, was particularly interested in infrared photography, and this image exemplifies his innovative work in the field. The photo's simple composition and sharp detail highlight Abney's technical skill and capture the serene atmosphere of the scene.
