Nevada Falls drops roughly 594 feet in its main plunge, and the stereoview's title gives the height as 700 feet, a figure that reflects how 19th-century viewers often rounded up the drama of the Sierra's waterfalls. The fall sits on the Merced River above Yosemite Valley, and stereo cards like this one were among the most popular ways for American audiences to "visit" such places from their parlors. Looking through the paired images gives a sense of depth and scale that a flat view could not, showing the granite walls and the spray that made Yosemite a national symbol of wild scenery.
