Gezicht op de Botermarkt te Leiden 1850 - 1900

"Gezicht op de Botermarkt te Leiden" is a photograph by Jan Goedeljee, a Dutch photographer born in 1824 and active in the late 19th century. The image captures a street scene in Leiden, Netherlands, with a focus on a canal and buildings lining its banks. The composition is characterized by a sense of depth created through the receding perspective of the canal and the buildings. The photograph is a prime example of 19th-century urban photography, capturing the everyday life of the Dutch city. The details of the buildings and the reflections in the water suggest the artist's attention to capturing the nuances of the urban environment.
