This image is a stereoscopic card from the 1873 expedition led by 1st Lieutenant George M. Wheeler as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The photograph features a scenic wilderness landscape with a small, tranquil body of water surrounded by trees and rugged terrain. Sparse vegetation and rocky cliffs are visible in the background, suggesting it may be a remote or mountainous location. The stereoscopic format, with two nearly identical images side by side, was designed to be viewed through a stereoscope to create a three-dimensional effect. The yellow border and text indicate the expedition details and command authority, marking it as a historical image documenting exploration during the late 19th century.

Here is a description of the image:

This is a stereoscopic photograph from the "Expedition of 1873," taken by 1st Lieutenant Geo. M. Wheeler, of the Corps of Engineers Commanding. The image is presented in a classic format of two slightly different, side-by-side views that, when viewed through a stereoscope, create a three-dimensional effect.

The scene depicts a serene landscape dominated by a small, dark lake or pond, nestled among trees and a rocky hillside. The perspective suggests that the photographer captured this from a slightly elevated position, looking down on the water body.

In the foreground, there's dense vegetation including tall grasses and perhaps some low-lying bushes, and a couple of fallen logs. These are likely the closest elements in the scene, providing depth.

The middle ground features the lake, with a dark surface. Tall trees and some bare branches line the banks.

In the background, a rocky hillside rises up, cloaked in trees and brush. There appear to be some rock formations at the top of the hill. The composition conveys a sense of peace and isolation. The sepia tone and the printing style suggest this photo was taken during the late 19th century.
