De Singel in Amsterdam 1913 - 1926

"De Singel in Amsterdam" (1913-1926) is a photo by Bernard Eilers. The photo, which is a typical example of early 20th-century Dutch photography, depicts a quiet, tree-lined street in Amsterdam. The composition emphasizes the long, slender shadows cast by the trees and buildings, adding a sense of depth and perspective. The artist's use of a high viewpoint gives the image a cinematic quality, drawing the viewer into the scene. The image has a melancholic tone, reflecting the somber mood that pervades the early 20th-century European city.
