"Gezicht op de Géronstèrebron in Spa" is a stereoscopic photograph by Jules Hippolyte Quéval, dating back to 1866-1870. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures a detailed view of the Géronstère spring in Spa, Belgium. The image showcases the architectural details of the spring's pavilion, nestled amongst lush greenery and a nearby building, offering a glimpse into the natural beauty and architectural heritage of the region. Stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, created an illusion of depth and realism, immersing the viewer in the scene.
