Gezicht op Kleine Poot 9 te Deventer c. 1901

This photograph, Gezicht op Kleine Poot 9 te Deventer, was taken by an anonymous photographer working for Monumentenzorg. It's hard to pin down the exact date, but the sepia tones give it that turn-of-the-century vibe, right? There's a haunting quality to this image, a washed-out feel that makes you wonder what life was like back then. The light is so soft, it almost feels like a memory fading. The details in the architecture, those little windows and the ornate doorway, are like whispers from the past. And those dark, shadowed windows! They pull you in, make you curious about what's hidden inside. You start to imagine stories, lives lived within those walls. The photograph seems to be in dialogue with Atget’s work, both revealing and concealing at the same time. It makes you realize that art isn't just about perfect clarity, but about embracing the mystery and letting your imagination fill in the blanks.
