Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look through the oldest photographs of Antwerp, Belgium. A majority of these images come to us from a 1920 series of older photographs compiled for the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp. These images will showcase the vast architecture and imagery, the artistic nature, and the invaluable Star Fort which previously encompassed the city.

We will look through roughly 125 images dated, from artistic depictions in the 15th century to photographs dated from 1876 through 1936. Independently the structures showcased today would be worthy of their own video, but to picture a Star Fort city which was quite literally interconnected by adjoining castles, placed over a hand-made moat, complete with the most sophisticated designs for the time; it is almost unimaginable.

Today we will try to decipher what all this could mean, while focusing on the rarest and most detailed images of Old World Antwerp. Be on the look out for photorealistic sculptures, antiquitech, and most of all, vanilla, or seemingly altered, skies. Thank you all for helping the channel to grow, I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to our discussion in the comment section down below.
