This is a historical stereoscopic image from the "Expedition of 1872" led by 1st Lieutenant George M. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers. The photo depicts a large, weathered rock in a desert-like environment. The rock has textured surfaces and rests among smaller stones. Perched on top of the rock is a hat, which may have been placed there for scale or as a marker by someone in the expedition. In the background, the landscape shows sandy ground and cliffs or rock formations. The image is formatted as a stereograph, with two nearly identical photographs side by side, designed to be viewed with a stereoscope to provide a three-dimensional effect.

This image is a stereograph from the "Expedition of 1872," featuring a pair of photographs printed side-by-side to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. The image depicts a large, rounded boulder surrounded by smaller rocks in a dry, rocky terrain. On top of the boulder, there is a hat placed prominently. In the background, there are sandy areas and cliffs. The card border is yellow, with text along the sides indicating the year of the expedition, "1872," and the leader "1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers, Commanding." The stereograph is numbered "108," suggesting it might be part of a series of images documenting the expedition. This serves as a historical visual record of geographical exploration during that time.

This appears to be a historical stereoscopic photograph from 1876, showing a geological or archaeological site. The image shows large, weathered rocks or boulders with distinct layering or stratification visible in their surfaces. The rocks appear to be in a natural outdoor setting. The photograph has a yellow/orange border or mount typical of stereoscopic cards from that era, with text visible on the mount indicating it's part of an "Expedition of 1876." The stereoscopic format consists of two nearly identical side-by-side images that would have created a 3D effect when viewed through a special viewer popular in the 19th century.

The image is a stereoscopic photograph, featuring two views of a large rock formation. The photograph is titled "Expedition of 1872" and is attributed to M. W. Wheeler, 1st Lieutenant and Commanding Corps of Engineers. The rock formation is prominently displayed in both views, with a hat placed on top, suggesting it might be a resting point or a marker. The surrounding area is rocky, indicating a rugged terrain, possibly in a mountainous or desert region. The photograph has a sepia tone, which is typical of early photographic processes, adding to the historical feel of the image.

Here is a description of the image:

This is a sepia-toned stereoscopic card, likely from the late 19th century, titled "Expedition of 1872." The card is mounted on a yellow cardstock. The two images on the card are nearly identical, designed to create a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope.

The scene depicts a rocky landscape. In the foreground, there are large, rounded boulders of varying sizes. The main subject of the image is a very large, roughly cube-shaped boulder that dominates the scene. This boulder has a weathered, textured surface. On top of the boulder, there is a hat and what appears to be a walking stick. The hat appears to be a wide-brimmed hat of the type worn during the late 19th century.

In the background, there's a sandy or gravelly slope leading up to a rocky cliff face. The overall impression is that this is a dry, arid landscape.

Along the right edge of the card, there is printed text that reads "1ST LIEUT. GEO. M. WHEELER. Corps of Engineers, Commanding." On the left side, it states "EXPEDITION OF 1872." There are also small numbers, "108," visible on some of the smaller rocks in the foreground. These details suggest this image is part of a documented expedition and potentially taken for scientific or surveying purposes.

The image is a stereoscopic photograph from the 1872 expedition led by George M. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers. Stereoscopic photographs were popular in the 19th century and were designed to be viewed with a stereoscope to create a three-dimensional effect.

The photograph depicts a rugged, rocky landscape with large boulders in the foreground. The boulders are weathered and have a rough, textured surface. The background shows a steep, rocky cliff face, suggesting that the photograph was taken in a canyon or a similarly rugged terrain. The image is in sepia tones, which was common for photographs from that era.

The text on the left side of the image reads "Expedition of 1872," and the text on the right side reads "1st Lt. Geo. M. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers, Commanding." This indicates that the photograph was taken during an official expedition led by Lieutenant George M. Wheeler.

Overall, the image captures the natural beauty and ruggedness of the landscape explored during the expedition.

This image is a stereoscopic photograph of a large, rounded boulder with a hat placed on top of it. The photograph is part of the Expedition of 1872, as indicated by the text on the left side of the image. The text on the right side of the image identifies the expedition as being under the command of 1st Lieutenant Geo. M. W. Wheeler, Corps of Engineers. The scene appears to be set in a rocky, possibly desert-like environment. The stereoscopic effect is created by having two slightly different images side by side, which when viewed with a stereoscope, gives the illusion of depth.
