Description:
Two identical black and white photographs of a landscape on a single sheet, arranged for viewing with a stereoscope. There are trees on a cliff and a waterfall behind them. The only difference between the two images is the inclusion of a sign reading [116 El Capitan Yosemite [sic.] Valley] on the left.
