A motorcar equipped for hunting trips sets this stereograph apart from the many automobile views of its day, suggesting how a well-to-do sportsman might reach remote country without a horse and wagon. Stereographs like this one, a pair of nearly identical photographs viewed through a handheld device, were a popular parlor entertainment, and this card was copyrighted by T.W. Ingersoll. Dating to about 1905, when motoring was still a costly novelty, it captures the early link between the automobile and outdoor leisure. The caption details are unverified, so treat the specific outfit and setting with some caution.
