This image depicts an 1874 stereoscopic photograph from the "Colorado River Series," showing the stunning desert landscape of the Colorado Basin. It is part of the United States Geological Survey's "Explorations West of the 100th Meridian," led by Lt. Geo. M. Wheeler. A prominent rock formation rises on the right, resembling a headland, with layered cliffs in the distance under a clear sky. Two men, likely explorers or surveyors, are positioned in the foreground: one standing and one sitting near a mound of earth. The scene evokes a sense of vastness and isolation typical of the rugged terrain in the American Southwest, with details emphasizing the barren, rocky environment. The photo is presented on a yellow stereocard, designed for 3D viewing when seen through a stereoscope.

The scene depicts a desert landscape with a prominent rock formation in the background. The foreground shows two people, one standing and one sitting on the ground. The standing person is wearing a hat and appears to be observing the seated individual, who is bent over, possibly examining or interacting with the ground. The photograph is part of the Colorado River Series, as indicated by the label on the left side of the image. The right side of the image contains text that reads "Explorations West of 100th Meridian, 1873-74, Wheeler, Com'd. Geol. Surv."

Here is a description of the image:

This is an antique sepia-toned stereoscopic card with a yellow border, featuring a desert landscape. The view is presented in two slightly different perspectives, typical of stereoscopic images, to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope.

In the foreground, the sandy desert ground is peppered with small rocks and pebbles. Two figures are visible: one standing and dressed in period attire with a hat, and another sitting down near a small mound of earth.

Behind them, the landscape rises to reveal a large, layered rock formation resembling a tower. The rock layers are clearly visible, giving the formation a distinct geological character. In the distance, additional mesas and rock formations rise against the horizon under a clear sky.

The card also features text along the left and right borders. The left border reads "COLORADO RIVER SERIES" and "W. Bell, Phot." The right border reads "Explorations West of the 100th Meridian. Expedition of 1872, Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Com'dg." At the bottom, it reads "No. 38-Headlands, Colorado Basin."

This is a stereoscopic photograph, a type of image that creates a 3D effect when viewed through a special viewer. The image is a sepia-toned photograph taken in the late 19th century during the Wheeler expedition, as indicated by the text on the right side of the image. The subject is a landscape in the Colorado Basin.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Landscape: The photo shows a desert landscape with a large, towering rock formation in the background. It's a sandstone formation, likely shaped by erosion. The terrain is arid, with a barren landscape in the foreground.
  • People: There are two men in the scene, dressed in what appear to be period clothing of the era and appear to be explorers. One is standing near a mound of dirt or rocks, and the other is on his knees. The scale of the people against the backdrop gives a sense of the immense size of the rock formation.
  • Composition: The photograph is well-composed, showing the rock formations with an open foreground. The use of a stereoscopic effect emphasizes the depth of the scene.
  • Details: The image is labeled "No. 38 - Headlands, Colorado Basin." The text on the right also provides the name of the expedition. The photographer is W. Bell. The style of the print and the information indicates that this is a historical photograph, likely intended to document exploration and scientific surveys.

This is a stereoscopic image, a type of photographic image that produces a three-dimensional view when viewed through a stereoscope. The image depicts a rugged, desert landscape with two distinct photographs side by side showing the same scene from slightly different angles.

In the foreground, there are two individuals dressed in period-appropriate attire, likely from the late 19th century, possibly during an expedition.
