Manneken Pis, Brussels, Belgium: A Picturesque and Nostalgic Glance into the 19th Century This photograph print, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a charming and nostalgic glimpse into the past of Brussels, Belgium. The image showcases the famous Manneken Pis, a historic landmark and a beloved symbol of the city. The Manneken Pis, or "Little Man Pee," is a small bronze fountain statue depicting a boy urinating into a basin. The origins of the statue date back to the 15th century, with various legends explaining its creation. This photograph, however, captures the statue in a different era, during the 19th century, when it was a popular tourist attraction. The photograph, taken during the nineteenth century's late stages, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Brussels. The image is coloured, adding a vibrant and lively touch to the scene. The photograph's picturesque quality, with its clear skies, lush greenery, and well-dressed onlookers, transports us back in time and invites us to imagine the bustling streets of Brussels during this period. The photograph's historical value is further emphasized by its use of the photochrom process, a method used to produce colour photographs from black-and-white negatives. This technique, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those with an interest in European history and culture.
