Machine 1875 - 1900

"Machine" is a photograph by Dutch photographer Gérard Stoof, taken sometime between 1875 and 1900. The photograph depicts a large machine in a factory setting, with a man standing in front of it. Stoof was known for his photographs of industrial subjects, and this image captures the power and scale of the Industrial Revolution. The use of a large format camera and the high level of detail in the image are characteristic of Stoof's work. The photograph is a testament to the photographer's keen eye for detail and his interest in documenting the rapidly changing world around him.
