Hi everyone, I'm in the process of moving and came across this item that I once received from my grandmother. Would you keep something like this (I don't have the space for it, so it's a shame to keep it hidden) or sell it? Does it even have any value?"

It’s a very interesting photo, as it basically disproves the notion that the _Koolvliet_ was not filled in 1879, despite the general concensus being that it was filled by 1877. It’s also one of the last pictures of the ancient city before it was razed to straighten the riverside (so bigger ships could dock). I’d contact the MAS or the Red Star Line museum if they are interested in this.
I found the same image in a document about Antwerp. So I assume it’s printed? Maybe it’s best to open the frame, although it looks real haha.
