"Twee bruiden" (Two brides) is a stereoscopic photograph by James Elliott, created between 1856 and 1861. This image captures two women, presumably brides, in their wedding attire, adorned with delicate veils. The photograph's format creates a 3D effect, immersing the viewer in the scene. Stereoscope photography was a popular form of entertainment in the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into everyday life.
