Description

Stereoscopic albumen print (single print) mounted on off-white card. Interesting stereoscopic effect, achieved by photographing a landscape and deep river valley from the top of a cliff and retaining parts of the cliff-top in the foreground and middle distance.

One of a collection of 74 early American stereoscopic photographs from the collection of Estella Canziani.
