This stereoscopic photograph, taken by Johann Friedrich Stiehm in 1868-1870, depicts the equestrian statue of Frederick William I of Brandenburg on the Lange Brücke (Long Bridge) in Berlin. The photograph shows the statue in detail, as well as the bridge and the surrounding architecture. The statue, a prominent landmark of the city, was commissioned by the Prussian king Frederick William IV to honor his ancestor, the first king of Prussia. Stiehm, a German photographer known for his landscape and architectural photography, captures the grandeur of the monument and its setting. The photograph is a valuable record of the city's urban development and its historical significance.
