Gezicht op Alexisbad in de Harz 1868 - 1890

"Gezicht op Alexisbad in de Harz," created between 1868 and 1890 by Hermann Selle, is a stereoscopic photograph depicting an aerial view of Alexisbad in the Harz region of Germany. The image showcases a collection of buildings situated amidst a lush forest, captured in the popular style of 19th-century landscape photography. The stereoscopic format, using two slightly different images to create a three-dimensional effect, was a popular method for capturing and experiencing the beauty of natural landscapes in the Victorian era. The small size of the work, measuring 87mm x 176mm, further highlights its intended role as a collectible souvenir for travelers and enthusiasts of scenic landscapes.
