Gezicht op de Oude Schans en de Montelbaanstoren met op de voorgrond de Kikkerbilsluis c. 1860 - 1900

"Gezicht op de Oude Schans en de Montelbaanstoren met op de voorgrond de Kikkerbilsluis" is a photograph by Andries Jager, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century. Taken between 1860 and 1900, it captures a picturesque view of the Oude Schans and the Montelbaanstoren in Amsterdam. The photograph's focus on the Kikkerbilsluis, a canal lock in the foreground, reveals Jager's interest in the city's intricate waterways and infrastructure. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the city's architecture and urban life during this era.
