"Gezicht op de Big Ben in Londen" is a humorous postcard photo by Rotary Photo, possibly created in 1918. The image depicts the Big Ben clock tower leaning precariously, a visual pun likely meant to evoke a sense of amusement and lightheartedness. This playful manipulation of reality is a hallmark of early 20th-century photography, where the manipulation of images for artistic effect was gaining popularity. The postcard's inscription, "Do you remember our night out in London?", further suggests it was intended for personal correspondence, a common practice in the era.
