Exterieur van de Villa Stella te Arcachon 1862 - 1876

This stereoscopic photograph, "Exterieur van de Villa Stella te Arcachon," was created by French photographer Jean Andrieu between 1862 and 1876. The image captures the Villa Stella, a grand, white-washed structure with a tower, situated on a hillside in Arcachon, France. The stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, provides a three-dimensional perspective, making viewers feel as if they are standing right in front of the villa. Andrieu's photograph showcases the beauty of the villa's architecture and its picturesque setting, capturing a moment in time of the burgeoning seaside resort town.
