What sets this picture apart is its format: two nearly identical photographs mounted side by side, meant to be viewed through a stereoscope so the scene appears to have depth. Stereographs were widely sold from the mid-1800s into the early 1900s, and photographers often traveled to Plains and Western communities or staged sitters before a tipi, a dwelling that many viewers at the time saw as an exotic curiosity. Photographs like this one reflect the commercial appetite of that era as much as the lives of the people shown, so it is worth looking closely at the setting, the clothing, and the posing. The record does not name the sitters, and the viewer should keep that gap in mind.
