Bruid met haar zus 1850 - 1864

"Bruid met haar zus" (Bride with her Sister) is a stereoscopic photograph by Alfred Silvester, created between 1850 and 1864. The image depicts two women in an interior setting, likely a parlor or drawing room. The woman in the foreground, seated in a chair, is likely the bride, while the woman behind her, standing, is her sister. The ornate tapestry in the background, along with the elegant furnishings, suggests a scene of wealth and domesticity, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with idealized home life. Silvester's work demonstrates the early development of stereoscopic photography, using two slightly different images to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope.
