Gezicht op Sorrento 1861 - 1878

Ernest Eléonor Pierre Lamy's "Gezicht op Sorrento" is a stereoscopic photograph from 1861-1878, capturing a panoramic view of the Italian town of Sorrento. The photograph, part of Lamy's "Vues d'Italie" series, depicts the town nestled along a rocky coastline, offering a glimpse into the charming architecture and natural beauty of the region. The stereoscopic format, with its dual perspectives, creates a sense of depth and realism, immersing viewers in the scene. Lamy's work, like many 19th-century stereoscopic photographs, served as a visual record and a window into distant lands for a growing international audience.
