Hofvijver in The Hague, Netherlands, c. 1860. On the left bank lies the Binnenhof complex, which has been the political centre of the Netherlands for centuries and is now the seat of the Dutch Parliament. In the centre of the lake lies the small, distinctive castle island. Behind it rises the striking spire of the Grote Kerk (St Jacob's Church), an authentic, high-resolution reproduction of a 19th-century original, the exact date of the depiction is unknown.
