This image is a stereoscopic photograph from the "Expedition of 1874," depicting a cascading waterfall surrounded by rugged terrain and sparse vegetation. In the foreground, tree branches and shrubs partially frame the scene. In the middle ground, the waterfall flows forcefully, creating white rapids as it descends over multiple levels of rocky ledges. The background features a towering, flat-topped mesa or cliff formation, adding a sense of grandeur to the expansive landscape. The golden-yellow border is characteristic of stereoscopic cards used in the 19th century for viewing with stereoscopes. The right side of the card credits "1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers Commanding," suggesting the image was taken as part of a government survey or exploration of the American West.

This is a historical stereoscopic photograph showing Shoshone Falls, often called the "Niagara of the West," located on the Snake River in Idaho. The image appears to be from the late 19th century and shows the dramatic waterfall cascading down in multiple tiers against a backdrop of steep, layered basalt cliffs. The falls are framed by natural vegetation and trees in the foreground. The photograph has the characteristic side-by-side duplicate images typical of stereoscopic photos, which were designed to create a 3D effect when viewed through a special viewer. The image has a yellow/sepia border and includes what appears to be catalog or identification text on the mount.

The composition captures both the grandeur of the falls and the impressive scale of the surrounding canyon walls, demonstrating why this natural landmark was compared to Niagara Falls. The black and white photography emphasizes the dramatic contrast between the white water and the dark volcanic rock formations.

Here's a description of the image:

The image is a stereograph, a type of photograph that creates a 3D effect when viewed with a special viewer. It shows a landscape with a waterfall cascading down a cliff face.

Central Subject: The primary focus is the waterfall, which appears to be a series of drops. The water is captured with a long exposure, making it look like silky white ribbons.

Surrounding Landscape:

• Cliff Face: Behind the waterfall is a layered, rocky cliff, which adds a sense of scale and grandeur to the image.
• Vegetation: Trees and bushes are present, especially along the base of the cliff and in the foreground. The vegetation adds depth and texture to the scene.

Composition: The image is divided into two almost identical halves to create the stereographic effect. The viewpoint is from a slightly elevated position. The framing is done with a yellowed border that indicates its age.

Text on the Card: The card itself has text printed on it, which provides context.

• "EXPEDITION OF 1874": This tells us the photograph was taken during an expedition in the year 1874.
• "1st Lieut. GEO. M. WHEELER, Corps of Engineers Commanding": This suggests that the expedition was led by an engineer, possibly for surveying or mapping purposes.

Overall Impression: The image evokes a sense of the vastness and beauty of nature, and the stereographic format provides a three-dimensional experience. The photograph's age and the information on the card suggest it is an historical record of a specific place.

This image is a composite of two side-by-side photographs, commonly referred to as a stereoscopic pair. Stereoscopic images aim to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed with a stereoscope. The image depicts a natural landscape featuring a waterfall cascading over a rocky ledge, surrounded by trees and shrubs. In the background, there is a large, rugged cliff or mesa that dominates the scene. The photograph appears to be from the 19th century, as indicated by the text on the left side of the image, which reads "EXPEDITION OF 1874." The right side of the image contains additional text that credits the photographer and the expedition leader, 1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, from the Corps of Engineers Commanding. The overall tone of the image is sepia, which is characteristic of photography from that era.
