Voet van de Congreskolom in Brussel 1866 - 1870

"Voet van de Congreskolom in Brussel" is a stereoscopic photograph taken by Jules Hippolyte Quéval in 1866-1870. The photograph depicts the base of the Congress Column in Brussels, a monument commemorating the 1830 Belgian Revolution. Quéval captures the intricate details of the column's base, including the sculptures of lions and figures representing different aspects of Belgian history. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the city's historical architecture and the 19th-century photographic practice of stereoscopy, creating a three-dimensional effect for the viewer.
