This appears to be a stereograph image from the late 19th century. It shows two nearly identical photographs side by side within a yellow border. The image depicts a river scene with several rowboats that have sails anchored in the water. On the boats, you can see multiple figures, likely crew members, some standing and others sitting, possibly in uniform. On what appears to be a wooden pier or dock structure in the foreground, there is a group of people standing and interacting. Many in this gathering appear to be dressed in attire that could be indicative of the local culture of the period. There may also be trade goods or supplies present. In the background, a calm river expands toward a flat horizon. The top of the image has text that reads "EXPEDITION OF 1871." On the right side, further text states "1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler. Corps of Engineers, Commanding." This text suggests the image is related to a military or exploratory expedition led by George M. Wheeler, known for his surveying expeditions in the western United States.

In the foreground, there is a wooden platform or dock structure that people are standing on. The people in the image are wearing what seems to be traditional or historical attire.
