Gezicht op 's Gravelandsche poort te Weesp 1856

"Gezicht op 's Gravelandsche poort te Weesp" is a black and white photograph by Pieter Oosterhuis depicting a drawbridge in the Dutch town of Weesp. Taken in 1856, the image shows the bridge from a perspective slightly beyond its entrance, with a small building on either side. The drawbridge's structure and the surrounding trees and fence create a charming scene of rural Dutch life. Oosterhuis, known for his landscape and architectural photography, captured the quaintness of the bridge in this detailed image, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. The photograph's stereoscopic format, common in the 19th century, adds depth to the viewer's experience.
