Gezicht op de Stelviopas bij de uitspanning Franzenshöhe before 1899

This black and white photograph, taken by Photoglob & Co. before 1899, depicts a view of the Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps, specifically the Franzenshöhe inn. The image showcases the dramatic mountain landscape with snow-capped peaks and the rustic inn nestled in the valley below. The detailed composition and sharp focus are characteristic of the photographic techniques of the late 19th century. This photo, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of the Stelvio Pass, a popular tourist destination and challenging cycling route.
