Man met telefoon 1897

This stereoscopic photograph, "Man met telefoon," by William Herman Rau, captures a man using a wall-mounted telephone in an interior setting. The image, likely taken in 1897, offers a glimpse into the early days of telephony. The man's posture and the phone's design showcase the novelty of this new technology, highlighting the evolving communication landscape of the late 19th century. The stereoscopic format, common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, creates a three-dimensional effect, adding depth and immersion to the scene.
