Description
This sepia-toned stereograph features two nearly identical photographs mounted side-by-side on a rounded, orange-colored cardstock. The photographs depict a landscape scene with a calm body of water in the foreground that perfectly reflects the large granite rock formations and dense coniferous trees rising in the background. The reflections in the water are clear, creating a symmetrical visual effect across the horizontal center of each photograph. The orange mount includes vertical text on the left border that reads "AMERICAN SCENERY," and on the right border, it reads "C. L. POND, BUFFALO, N. Y.". At the bottom center of the mount, below the two images, a printed caption in orange text states: "615—Mirror View Washington Column, Clouds Rest and South Dome. Yo Semite Valley, California.".
