Gezicht op de rede van Napels en de Vesuvius op de achtergrond 1861 - 1878

This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op de rede van Napels en de Vesuvius op de achtergrond," by Ernest Eléonor Pierre Lamy, depicts the Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius in the background. Taken sometime between 1861 and 1878, the image provides a glimpse into the bustling harbor activity of the time, capturing the numerous ships and boats sailing in the bay. The image uses the stereoscopic format, which creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The work is a fine example of 19th century photographic realism and a valuable document of the city of Naples.
