View from the bridge of the street "Korte Niezel" towards St. Nicholas Church in Amsterdam, on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal canal. "Oudezijd" means "old part of town", while "Voorburgwal" refers to the old city fortification. Many buildings from the Golden Age of the Netherlands are located along the canal. St. Nicholas Basilica was consecrated in 1887, shortly before the old photo was taken.
