Gezicht op Toledo 1862 - 1876

"Gezicht op Toledo" (View of Toledo), a stereoscopic photograph by Jean Andrieu, captures a panoramic view of Toledo, Spain, from the vantage point of the "Sepulchre of the Moorish King." Created between 1862 and 1876, the image showcases the city's dense urban fabric, sprawling across the landscape, and the meandering river that cuts through it. Andrieu's use of a stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, enhances the viewer's perception of depth and realism, transporting them to the heart of the ancient Spanish city.
