Twee gezichten op de Eerste Muiderpoort te Amsterdam, waarvan één reproductie van een prent door Caspar Jacobsz. Philips 1890 - 1900

This anonymous albumen print from the late 19th century shows two views of the Eerste Muiderpoort in Amsterdam. The top image is a reproduction of an etching by Caspar Jacobsz. Philips, depicting the gate surrounded by trees and a row of buildings in the distance. The bottom image shows the gate as it appeared in the late 19th century, with the addition of an Aquarium building. The print provides a glimpse into the changing urban landscape of Amsterdam during the late 19th century, documenting the transformation of the historic city gate from a rural setting to an urban gateway. The print is a valuable example of 19th-century photography and provides insights into the history of architecture and urban development in Amsterdam.
