Picture of the day
A ca. 1890–1900
photochrom
print of
Amsterdam Centraal railway station
, one of the main
railway
hubs of the
Netherlands
, soon after its opening in 1889. The station is situated on three
artificial islands
at the head of the city, along the
IJ
. Its location was highly controversial, as it effectively cut the city off from its own
waterfront
, making it, for all purposes, an inland city.
