This historical image is a stereoscopic photograph from the "Expedition of 1873," shot by Timothy H. O'Sullivan, a renowned American photographer. It features a man sitting on a sandy area near tall sandstone cliffs in Cañon de Chelly, located in the southwestern United States. He appears to be sketching or drawing in a notebook, seated under a large umbrella for shade. The scene is tranquil, highlighting the rugged natural beauty and scale of the vertical rock formations. Sparse vegetation appears in the foreground, emphasizing the arid landscape. The image is labeled as "No. 89 - Sandstone Wall of the Ruins, Cañon de Chelle." It was part of an expedition led by Lieutenant George M. Wheeler for geographical exploration. The stereoscopic format consists of two nearly identical side-by-side prints designed to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope.

The image is a historical stereograph photograph depicting a scene from the "Expedition of 1873". It shows a large sandstone wall in Cañon de Chelle, which is part of the Canyon de Chelly located in northeastern Arizona. In the foreground, a man is sitting on the ground, likely sketching or taking notes. He is holding a notebook or sketchpad and is sheltered from the sun by a large umbrella. The image captures the vastness and grandeur of the canyon's sandstone formations. The stereograph, meant to be viewed with a stereoscope to create a 3D effect, was taken by photographer T. H. O'Sullivan. The image is part of a series titled "Historic Series" and is numbered 89. The stereograph is mounted on a card with text printed on both the front and back, indicating the involvement of 1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers, in the expedition.

This is a historical stereoscopic photograph from 1873, taken by T. H. O'Sullivan. The image shows the "Sandstone Wall of the Ruins, Cañon de Chelle" (now known as Canyon de Chelly). In the foreground, two figures sit with umbrellas, appearing to be sketching or documenting the impressive sandstone cliff face that towers above them. The cliff wall shows dramatic natural striations and layers in the rock formation. The photograph is mounted on a yellow card typical of stereoscopic viewing cards from that era. This image is particularly significant as it represents some of the earliest photographic documentation of the American Southwest and its geological features. The use of umbrellas by the figures suggests they might be part of a geological or archaeological survey team, which was common during this period of Western exploration.

The image is a stereograph, a type of photograph that uses two images to create a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The stereograph is titled "Expedition of 1878" and features a sepia-toned photograph of a person sitting in front of a large rock formation.

• The person is wearing a hat and holding a parasol, which suggests that they are trying to protect themselves from the sun.
• The rock formation is massive and has a rough, weathered texture. It appears to be made of sandstone, which is a common type of rock in the American Southwest.
• The background of the image shows a desert landscape with sparse vegetation and a clear sky. There are no other people or objects visible in the image.

Overall, the image provides a glimpse into the natural beauty of the American Southwest during the late 19th century. The use of a stereograph format allows the viewer to experience the scene in a more immersive way, with the two images working together to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
