This image is a stereoscopic photograph depicting a scene from the Expedition of 1871. The central focus is a calm body of water reflecting the surrounding rock formations, creating a near-perfect mirror image. A narrow path or road runs alongside the water, with several tiny figures visible at a distance, likely members of the expedition. Tall, rugged cliffs loom on either side of the pathway, emphasizing the grandeur and scale of the landscape. The top of the image has the title "EXPEDITION OF 1871," and to the right, it notes "O. C. Wheeler, lieut. G.E., Commanding," which signifies the leader of the corps of engineers in charge of the expedition. There is a number "126" at the bottom right corner, which might signify the photo number in a series. This style of photography was designed to be viewed with a stereoscope, providing a 3D-like effect to the viewer.

This is a historical stereoscopic photograph from 1871, showing a dramatic landscape with towering rock formations reflected in still water. The image shows what appears to be part of an expedition, with tiny figures visible along the shoreline that give scale to the massive cliff walls. The cliffs rise sharply on either side of what seems to be a canyon or gorge, creating a striking mirror image in the calm water below. The photograph has a sepia tone typical of the era, and is mounted on a yellow card marked "EXPEDITION OF 1871." This appears to be from a geological or geographical survey of the American West, documenting the dramatic natural landscapes being explored during that period. The stereoscopic format, with two nearly identical side-by-side images, was designed to create a 3D effect when viewed through a special viewer popular in the 19th century.

Here is a description of the image:

This is a stereoscopic image of a mountainous landscape, likely from an expedition in 1871. The image is divided into two similar views, designed to create a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope.

The landscape features tall, rocky mountains with rough, textured surfaces. The mountains rise dramatically from a relatively flat, sandy area next to a body of water. The water appears calm and reflects the mountains, creating a mirror image effect. There are small figures of people visible on the sandy area, near the water's edge, providing a sense of scale to the landscape.

The overall tone of the image is sepia, giving it a vintage feel. Text on the left side of the image reads "Expedition of 1871". On the right side, it says "1st Lieut. GEO. M. WHEELER, Corps of Engineers Commanding". There's also a number "126" written on the right.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

This is a vintage stereoscopic photograph from 1871, likely depicting a scenic canyon or gorge. The composition emphasizes the grandeur of the natural landscape and the play of light on the water.

Details:

  • Subject: The primary focus is a dramatic, rocky canyon or gorge. Towering, sheer cliffs dominate the background. The water of a lake or river in the foreground forms a reflective surface.
  • Composition: The image is divided into two side-by-side views, a hallmark of stereoscopic photography. This creates a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The reflections in the water are key to the composition, mirroring the mountains. Small figures of people are visible near the water's edge, probably included to give a sense of scale.
  • Light and Atmosphere: The lighting appears to be soft and diffused, possibly taken during the day. The scene has a muted palette with the rocky surface and the water.
  • Color & Style: The photograph is monochromatic. It is a vintage photograph, with a typical sepia tone.
  • Additional Elements: The card has text on the side. The text indicates "EXPEDITION OF 1871". The inscription also attributes the work to "1st Lieut. GEO. M. WHEELER, Corps of Engineers Commanding".

In Summary:

This is an archival stereoscopic photograph that vividly captures a majestic natural scene, likely from a survey expedition. The use of perspective and reflection creates a compelling sense of depth and scale.

The image is a stereoscopic photograph from the 1871 expedition led by 1st Lieutenant George M. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers. It depicts a scenic view of a canyon with steep, rugged cliffs on either side. The canyon walls are tall and imposing, with layers of rock visible, suggesting geological formations. The ground appears to be a flat, sandy area, possibly a riverbed or a dry lake bed.

In the foreground, there is a body of water that reflects the canyon walls, creating a mirror-like effect. The reflection is clear, adding to the visual depth and symmetry of the image. There are a few small figures visible in the distance, likely members of the expedition, which provides a sense of scale to the vast landscape.

The photograph is in sepia tones, typical of early photography, and is mounted on a yellowish card with text on the left and right sides. The text on the left reads "EXPEDITION OF 1871," and the text on the right reads "1st Lieut. GEO. M. WHEELER, Corps of Engineers Commanding." The number "126" is also visible, likely indicating the photograph's catalog number within the expedition's documentation.
