[edit] 1885 Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal

The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, a canal in Amsterdam, on a 1885 woodcut by Christiaan le Blansch. The text says: "View on The Brokers Office. Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal before filling up."

The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, which is the canal on this 19th century woodcut, is now filled up. The woodcut gives a nice view of the canals and canal houses in Amsterdam in the 19th century. This high resolution image shows small details of the woodcut. Possibly the colours around the woodcut and of the sky can be slightly improved by a skilled photo editor. Does this image have a chance as featured picture candidate?
