Exterieur van het Arsenaal van Augsburg 1855 - 1885

Ferdinand Brauer’s “Exterieur van het Arsenaal van Augsburg” (1855-1885) captures the ornate facade of the Augsburg Arsenal, a historic building in Germany. The photograph, executed in the black-and-white format typical of the 19th century, highlights the building's intricate architectural details, including its decorative sculptures and ornate doorway. The presence of cannons in the foreground suggests the building’s military purpose, while the figures in the distance provide a sense of scale and context. Brauer’s work is an example of the burgeoning art of photography capturing the reality of the built environment.
