Range cattle grazing in Australia are the subject here, shown as a stereograph card that the Keystone View Company copyrighted and issued around 1916. Keystone was a major American publisher of stereoscopic views, and its cards were sold to home viewers who looked at paired images through a stereoscope to see depth. The caption frames the herds as a source of national wealth, which reflects how important the sheep and cattle trade was to Australia's economy in the early twentieth century. The record notes that its data comes from the original caption card and has not been independently verified, so the exact location and circumstances of the photograph remain unconfirmed.
