Exterieur van de Frauenkirche in Dresden 1860s - 1870s

This stereoscopic photograph by Athanase Clouzard, taken in the 1860s or 1870s, showcases the Frauenkirche in Dresden, Germany. The image captures the intricate details of the Baroque church's facade and dome, as well as the surrounding cityscape. Clouzard's work, typical of 19th-century photography, aimed to document architectural wonders and provide viewers with a glimpse of the past. The use of stereoscopy, which creates a 3D effect, enhances the immersive quality of the image. This photograph, likely a tourist souvenir of the time, offers a historical perspective on the Frauenkirche before its destruction during World War II and subsequent reconstruction in the 21st century.
