The image is a stereograph of two men standing with a mule, taken during the Expedition of 1871. The stereograph is divided into two identical images, one on the left and one on the right, which were meant to be viewed through a stereoscope to create a 3D effect.

In the foreground, the two men are standing on either side of the mule, which is wearing a saddle and has antlers attached to its back. The men are dressed in military uniforms and hats, suggesting that they are part of the expedition. The mule appears to be well-groomed and healthy, with a shiny coat and alert expression.

The background of the image shows a rural landscape with trees and hills in the distance. The sky is clear and sunny, indicating a pleasant day. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of adventure and exploration, as the men and their mule prepare to embark on a journey through the wilderness.

The stereograph is mounted on a yellow card with the words "EXPEDITION OF 1871" printed vertically along the left edge and "1st Lieut. GEO. M. WHEELER, Corps of Engineers Commanding" printed vertically along the right edge. This suggests that the image was taken by or for Lieutenant Wheeler, who was likely leading the expedition. The card also has a number "142" written in pencil at the bottom left corner, which may be a catalog number or identifier for the image.

Overall, the image provides a unique glimpse into the history of exploration and adventure in the American West during the late 19th century. It showcases the bravery and determination of the men who ventured into the unknown, as well as the importance of animals like mules in facilitating their journeys.
