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.
