A contemporary 6 x 8-inch daguerreotype created by master daguerreotypists Marinus Ortelee and Charlotte Edam, showcasing the iconic Amsterdam Central Station. The image highlights the station’s stunning Neo-Renaissance architecture with remarkable precision, a testament to the daguerreotype’s unparalleled ability to capture intricate details and rich tonal depth.

The daguerreotype is meticulously crafted, featuring a hand-polished plate with a 99.9% silver layer and a final 24k gold layer for protection and brilliance. Signed “mOcel” on the front, it is presented in a sealed cassette to ensure long-term conservation. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, the piece guarantees its provenance and adherence to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

This contemporary daguerreotype bridges the timeless beauty of Amsterdam's historic landmarks with the artistry of a revived photographic technique. A distinctive piece for collectors of fine art photography, architectural documentation, or modern interpretations of historic methods.
