Gezicht op een huis in Edam 1857 - 1898

"Gezicht op een huis in Edam" is a photograph taken by Pieter Siewers, a Dutch photographer active in the 19th century. The image captures a typical Dutch canal house in Edam, showcasing its brick facade, characteristic gabled roof, and multiple windows. The photograph, taken between 1857 and 1898, provides a glimpse into the architecture and daily life of Edam during the late 19th century, with a figure standing in the doorway adding a human element to the scene. The photograph, measuring just 166 mm in height and 107 mm in width, is a testament to Siewers' skill in capturing the details and character of everyday life. Siewers' work, like this photograph, often focused on capturing the architecture and landscapes of his native Netherlands.
