Lead with what sets this view apart: it looks up at South Dome, the granite face rising about 6,000 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor, as seen from the vicinity of Hutchings' property. James Hutchings ran a hotel and guest house in the valley from the 1860s and was one of the first to promote Yosemite to tourists, so his name on a view points to the visitors who came to see such sights. Stereoviews like this one were printed in pairs and viewed through a stereoscope, giving the granite dome a three-dimensional depth that flat prints could not. The image shows how early travelers understood the valley's scale, measured by its towering cliffs.
