Het huis Zomerlust c. 1865

"Het huis Zomerlust" is a photograph by Dutch photographer Jacobus van Gorkom jr., created around 1865. The photograph depicts a large, stately house with a prominent facade. It is situated in a verdant garden setting, and is likely a country estate. The image is a snapshot of the architecture and landscape of the Netherlands during the 19th century, captured by a skilled photographer. The detail on the house's facade suggests the use of a large format camera and a careful approach to composition, demonstrating the artistic potential of early photography.
