Gezicht op het IJ tijdens de Keizersfeesten in Amsterdam 1891

"Gezicht op het IJ tijdens de Keizersfeesten in Amsterdam" (1891) by Johanna Margaretha Piek is a photograph capturing a view of the IJ river in Amsterdam during the imperial celebrations. The image is a close-up, taken from a boat and framed in a circular format. The photograph depicts a ship docked in the harbor, its masts and rigging partially obscured by the curve of the frame, highlighting the dynamic perspective of the shot. Piek's work captures the bustle and grandeur of this historical event, offering a glimpse into Dutch life in the late 19th century.
