The interior of the conservatory at R.B. Woodward's San Francisco residence is the subject here, a private glasshouse photographed for a stereographic view. The picture is one half of a pair, meant to be viewed through a stereoscope so the room appeared to recede in three dimensions. Conservatories like this one signaled wealth and refined taste in the 1860s, when prosperous Californians were building large Victorian homes and filling them with rare plants. Stereographs of private homes such as this one were sold to a broad public curious about how the city's leading families lived.
