Gezicht op Berlijn vanuit het Berliner Stadtschloss, gezien richting de Breite Strasse 1868 - 1870

"Romeo und Julia" is a stereoscopic photograph created by Johann Friedrich Stiehm, a renowned German photographer, between 1868 and 1870. The image, capturing a romantic scene of two figures by a stream, showcases Stiehm's mastery of the stereoscopic technique, which creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The photograph's title, "Romeo and Juliet," suggests a narrative of love and possibly a play on the famous Shakespearean tragedy. This evocative image, a small-format work measuring just 87mm by 176mm, provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century photography and its ability to capture both realism and romanticism.
