Murcia-Vista del puente sobre el Segura c. 1857 - 1880

"Murcia-Vista del puente sobre el Segura" is a 19th-century albumen print by Juan Laurent, showcasing the bridge over the Segura River in Murcia, Spain. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the cityscape in detail, including the river, the bridge, and surrounding buildings, providing a glimpse into the city's urban landscape in the late 19th century. The composition includes two figures in the foreground, adding a sense of human scale to the architectural grandeur. The image is characteristic of Laurent's photographic practice, which focused on documenting the architecture and daily life of Spain.
