Canal in Den Helder, cabinet photograph, collector's mark: 'Vosmaer', number: '0.50', photographer: Anna Clasina Leijer, Den Helder, 1890 - 1910, Anna Clasina Leijer, photographer, paper, pasteboard, baryta paper, daylight collodion silver print, height 105 mm x width 163 mm, canals, waters (in city), A wide canal runs through the center of the scene with calm water reflecting pale tones, bordered on both sides by rows of bare deciduous trees lining paved paths and streets. On the left bank there are closely spaced houses and buildings partly obscured by tree trunks, and a narrow strip of grass at the water's edge. On the right bank a continuous line of uniform buildings extends into the distance beneath another avenue of trees, and a raised embankment slopes down to the canal. In the background a larger building with a tower rises above the treeline, appearing softened by distance and pale light. The overall image has a muted, sepia-toned palette and a soft, hazy atmosphere.
