"Gezicht op de Montaña de Guajara op Tenerife" is a photograph of a mountain on the island of Tenerife, taken in 1856 by Scottish astronomer Charles Piazzi Smyth. The photograph depicts a majestic view of the Guajara mountain, a prominent landmark on Tenerife, in a slightly sepia-toned and grainy style common to early photography. This piece reflects Smyth's interest in capturing natural landscapes, which he documented extensively during his travels, adding to the history of landscape photography in the 19th century.
