Gezicht op de oostkust van Helgoland c. 1889 - 1920

"Gezicht op de oostkust van Helgoland" is a hand-colored photograph of a harbor in Helgoland, Germany, created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1889 and 1920. The image features a seaside town with a colorful row of houses perched on a cliff above a sandy beach and a small, calm harbor. The harbor is filled with several traditional wooden boats, some of which are moored, while others are on the shore. This picturesque scene captures the beauty of the Helgoland coast with detailed depiction of the boats, the sandy beach, and the houses, creating a nostalgic and timeless view of the coastal life in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a great example of the hand-colored photographic art popular in the late 19th century.
