Yosemite Falls, listed here at 2,634 feet, is the particular subject of this stereograph, and the card's title draws attention to its reflection in water rather than the falls alone. It is one of a numbered series, No. 7351 in the American Views set of Yosemite Valley, issued by the publisher William I. Marshall in the 1870s. Stereo cards like this were sold in quantity and viewed through a hand stereoscope, which gave the viewer a sense of depth in the valley's cliffs and waterfalls. The albumen print reflects the period's photographic methods, and its date places it in the years when Yosemite was becoming widely known to eastern audiences.
