Summary
| Description |
Nederlands: Gezicht in spiegelbeeld op de Predikherenbrug (Pont des Dominicains) over de Leie, de Predikherenlei (Quai des Dominicains) en de toren van de Sint-Niklaaskerk te Gent. Gezicht in spiegelbeeld op de Predikherenbrug over de Leie, de Predikherenlei en de toren van de Sint-Niklaaskerk te Gent. Deze daguerreotypie is de oudste foto van Gent en wellicht België. Het dateert van oktober 1839, wanneer optieker François Braga de eerste daguerreotype camera mee naar Gent bracht. Hij nam de foto samen met zijn vriend Joseph Pelizarro, op het tweede verdiep in het huis van rechter Philippe Van de Velde op de Ajuinlei. Van de vier daguerreotypes die gemaakt werden, zijn twee in de collectie van STAM – Stadsmuseum Gent opgenomen. De andere twee daguerreotypes zijn niet meer teruggevonden.
English: ‘View of the Predikherenlei and Predikherenbrug’ depicts the first photographic record of Ghent and in all probability Belgium. It dates back to October 1839, when optician François Braga arrived in Ghent with the daguerrotype camera. Together with his friend, seller of prints and engravings Joseph Pelizzaro, he took the picture on the second floor of judge Philippe Van de Velde’s residence on the Ajuinlei. Of the four original plates they made, two plates are in the holdings of STAM – Ghent City Museum, while the two others are lost. The second plate depicts the rear facades of the Hoornstraat and Veldstraat. |
