View of Prins Hendrikkade with St. Nicholas' Basilica in Amsterdam, seen from Central Station. Until the 19th century, this was the northern edge of the city and Amsterdam's outer harbor, until Central Station was built on artificial islands.
The church was built between 1884 and 1887 and was still relatively new at the time this historical photograph was taken. While the waterway was then an important trading and transshipment point, today it serves almost exclusively as a tourist destination.
