Gezicht op het Panoramagebouw in Amsterdam 1860 - 1890

This photograph by Andries Jager, taken between 1860 and 1890, captures the "Panoramagebouw" in Amsterdam. The large structure with a domed roof and a colonnaded facade stands majestically in the foreground, while a street vendor pushes his cart in the lower right corner of the image. The panoramic view provides a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of 19th-century Amsterdam and offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants. This carte-de-visite, a popular format for photographs in the 19th century, is a testament to Jager's skill as a photographer, showcasing the building in detail and capturing a moment in time. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an important document of the city's history and a fascinating example of early photographic art.
