On the left is Stadhuis Rotterdam. The modern building (right) is Holbeinhuis. Rotterdam is a major port city in the province of South Holland. After being almost completely reconstructed following World War II, the city is now known for its modern architecture, as well as its university, riverside setting, cultural activity and maritime heritage. This image is from a visitor’s old amateur black and white negative. It will look soft and grainy if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s photograph.
