Gezicht op Jaffa 1898

"Gezicht op Jaffa" is a photograph taken by Johannes Lodewijk Heldring in 1898. The image depicts a view of the sea, showing a coastline in the distance and the wake of a boat in the foreground. Heldring, a Dutch photographer, captured the scene in a candid, almost snapshot-like style, characteristic of the photographic trends of the late 19th century. The photograph offers a glimpse of the everyday life of the time and a view of the city of Jaffa, now part of Tel Aviv, Israel.
