Schip voor anker, vermoedelijk in Algerije 1870 - 1930

"Schip voor anker, vermoedelijk in Algerije" is a black and white photograph by Dutch photographer Jean Geiser, depicting a ship at anchor. The ship is a three-masted sailing ship, with its sails furled and a single flag at the top of the mast. The photograph, taken between 1870 and 1930, is a testament to Geiser's talent for capturing the grandeur of ships and the vastness of the sea. It is a beautiful example of photographic realism, depicting the ship in great detail, and the smooth surface of the water, suggesting the stillness of the sea. The use of a simple black and white palette enhances the realism and creates a sense of tranquility.
