Gezicht op de Victoria Bridge te Chelsea after 1857

This stereoscopic photograph by Valentine Blanchard depicts the Battersea New Suspension Bridge, also known as the Victoria Bridge, in Chelsea, London. Taken after 1857, the image showcases the bridge's ornate towers and intricate suspension cables against a calm river backdrop. The Victorian-era photograph, a popular format at the time, provides a snapshot of the bridge's architectural grandeur and its significance as a landmark in the city. The stereo effect, creating the illusion of depth, adds to the viewer's immersive experience of the scene. This image, a testament to Blanchard's skill as a photographer, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of London in the mid-19th century.
