Gezicht op de Flora te Keulen after 1863

This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op de Flora te Keulen," was taken by Johann Heinrich Schönscheidt after 1863. The image depicts a view of the Flora, a botanical garden in Cologne, Germany. The photograph captures the elegant architecture of the garden's central building and the surrounding manicured landscape. The stereoscopic effect provides a three-dimensional view of the scene, enhancing the sense of depth and perspective, which was a popular technique for capturing realistic views in the 19th century. This particular image is a great example of the "carte-de-visite" style of photography, which was popular for its small size and ease of sharing.
