This stereoscopic photograph, created between 1860 and 1870, by Anselm Schmitz, shows the interior of the Cologne Cathedral, specifically its choir. Schmitz, a German photographer, captured the grandeur of the Gothic architecture with detail. The image is presented in a stereoscopic format, meaning it creates a 3D illusion when viewed through a stereoscope. The photo showcases the intricate carvings and the vastness of the cathedral, making it a valuable historical document of this landmark.
