"Gezicht over het IJ tijdens de Keizersfeesten in Amsterdam, in de verte het centraal station" is a photograph by Johanna Margaretha Piek, taken in 1891. This image captures a view of the IJ River in Amsterdam during the Emperor's festivities. The Central Station is visible in the distance, while the foreground shows a portion of the waterfront. The photograph's circular format and the focus on a distant cityscape are characteristic of Piek's work, which often depicted urban landscapes of her time. This small-scale photograph, measuring only 98 mm in height and 96 mm in width, provides a unique glimpse into the historical events and architectural grandeur of Amsterdam in the late 19th century.
