Gezicht op Bad Ems en de Mooshütte 1868 - 1876

"Gezicht op Bad Ems en de Mooshütte" is a stereoscopic photograph by Carl Heinrich Jacobi, dating from 1868-1876. The image captures a picturesque view of Bad Ems, a spa town in Germany, with the Mooshütte, a mountain hut, dominating the background. Jacobi's work is notable for its meticulous detail, capturing the architecture of the town, the lush foliage, and the reflection of the buildings in the river. This photograph, presented as a stereoscopic image, was intended for viewing with a special viewer to create a three-dimensional effect, enhancing the sense of realism in the scene. Stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, was a precursor to modern-day 3D technology.
