Hello platonides,
this is not only a lovely idea but very useful too. Due to different effects as war, environmental damages, demolition and new surroundings to monuments, some of them are far more recognisable in old etchings or photos. This volunteer effort would be of great help to further research on the whole topic. Thank a lot for that idea!
Best regards Barbara

While adding images to monuments lists and looking through old pictures of monuments, I noticed that this happens quite often "by accident": There seem to be certain views people prefer above all others when it comes to depicting a certain monument (even unknown and small ones).
Just one really great example: The first two pictures in the gallery at the bottom of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Lahnbr%C3%BCcke_(Limburg) were created about 150 years apart and show the same scenery from almost the same angle. I think I will try to reproduce the view of the painting more precisely this summer, thanks for the idea!
Best regards,

If you wanted to capture both the bridge (which was presumably the gate to the city) and the castle, that may be the only angle to do so. Also, the monuments could be prettier from a certain perspective. So if many people shared that opinion, it's quite logical that several guys used the same view.
