Gezicht op de Johanneskerk te Stuttgart c. 1860 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op de Johanneskerk te Stuttgart", was captured by Ludwig Schaller sometime between 1860 and 1880. The image depicts the Johanneskirche, a gothic-style church in Stuttgart, Germany, reflected in a tranquil body of water. The sharp detail and stark contrast of the image are characteristic of the 19th-century photographic style. The presence of a lone figure in the foreground adds a sense of scale and perspective, drawing the viewer into the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the architectural landscape of 19th-century Stuttgart and demonstrates the development of photography as a medium for documenting urban spaces.
