The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone drop roughly 308 feet through a canyon of yellow and rust-colored rock, and stereoscopic cards like this one were among the main ways Americans in the late 1800s saw the site without traveling there. Two slightly offset photographs printed side by side produced a sense of depth when viewed through a hand-held stereoscope. Yellowstone was set aside as the first national park in 1872, and views like this helped build public interest in preserving it. Notice how the photographer placed the falls against the canyon walls to show scale.
