19th century statue on Prince Hendrikkade in Amsterdam.
We are looking at the Oudezijds Kolk, with the Schreierstoren on the left and the Sint-Nicolaaskerk on the right.
Shot razor-sharp by well-known photographer Jacob Olie in 1893, 130 years ago. Digital restoration brings the scanned photo back to life.
Everything is visible: the texts on facades, the horse-drawn tram passing by, people talking to each other in the street. You can even look inside the windows.
This work fits very well in an Amsterdam interior or in the interior of anyone who feels connected to the city of Amsterdam.
The high scan resolution allows it to be printed at life-size.
The original photograph is part of the collection of the Stadsarchief Amsterdam.
