The image you provided is a historical stereograph depicting the "Expedition of 1871" led by 1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers Commanding. The stereograph shows a river scene flanked by steep, rugged cliffs on both sides. In the foreground, on the riverbank, there's a boat with what appears to be equipment or supplies loaded onto it, likely used by the expedition team. The photograph must be viewed with a stereoscope to create the illusion of a three-dimensional scene, a popular form of entertainment in the late 19th century. The landscape is stark and rocky, suggesting a remote location explored during the expedition. The sky is overcast, and the overall tone of the image is sepia, common for photographs of that era. The text on the image indicates the purpose and leadership of the expedition.
