Standbeeld van Hendrik Tollens, Rotterdam 1860 - 1865

This stereoscopic photograph, taken by Pieter Oosterhuis between 1860 and 1865, depicts the statue of Dutch poet Hendrik Tollens. Created in the mid-19th century, the statue stands tall in a park setting surrounded by trees, its imposing presence suggesting the enduring legacy of Tollens's work. The image showcases the artistic skill of Oosterhuis, who effectively captures the three-dimensional nature of the monument, creating an illusion of depth that enhances the viewer's experience.
