Graspieper bij nest c. 1870 - 1940

"Graspieper bij nest" ("Grasshopper Warbler at Nest") is a stereoscopic photograph by Dutch photographer Adolphe Burdet, taken between 1870 and 1940. This intimate black and white image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a small bird nestled in a bed of tall grasses. The image, composed of two nearly identical frames, creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The details of the bird's feathers and the blades of grass provide a glimpse into the natural world through the lens of early photography.
