Drie onbekende mannen die ijsvissen before 1898

"Drie onbekende mannen die ijsvissen" is a photograph taken before 1898 by the artist Th. u. O. Hofmeister. The image shows three men fishing on a frozen lake. One man is holding a rod and the other two are bending over a hole in the ice, possibly trying to bait their lines. The photograph is a great example of 19th-century photographic realism, capturing a moment in time in a way that is both accurate and evocative. The photograph's small size, 80 mm x 64 mm, suggests that it might have been part of a collection or album. It could also have been intended for publication in a magazine or book.
