Gezicht op de Warmoesgracht te Amsterdam 1850 - 1894

Andreas Theodorus Rooswinkel, a Dutch photographer active in the 19th century, captured a serene scene of Amsterdam’s Warmoesgracht canal in this albumen print. The image showcases the characteristic narrow canal lined with stately buildings, with a bridge spanning the water in the foreground. The composition, taken from a high vantage point, highlights the tranquil ambiance of the waterway, further emphasized by the presence of figures casually strolling along the canal’s edge. This print, likely part of a series of photographs documenting Amsterdam's urban landscape, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city during the mid-19th century.
