Long rows of live oaks hung with Spanish moss shade the drive in this stereograph of the park in New Orleans. Cards like this were meant to be viewed in pairs through a hand-held stereoscope, so the two slightly offset exposures gave the trees and road a convincing sense of depth. Stereographs such as this were popular parlor entertainment around 1901, and the publisher and photographer credits on this record remain unverified.
