Gezicht op de poort van een gebouw before 1895

This photograph, "Gezicht op de poort van een gebouw," by Paul Naudot, depicts the ruined entrance to a building. The image, a detail from a larger album, is characteristic of early photography, captured in a black and white tone. The photograph's small size, measuring 123 mm in height and 87 mm in width, suggests it was intended for personal use or as part of a collection. The subject matter, a glimpse into the past through architectural ruins, offers a poignant portrayal of time's passage. This photograph, created before 1895, is an excellent example of the burgeoning art of photography and its growing ability to capture historical and architectural details.
