Original mammoth stereoview photograph measuring approximately 6¾ x 4¼ inches depicting the "Squatters Group" rock formation in Monument Park, Colorado. The image shows dramatic natural sandstone hoodoo formations characteristic of the Monument Park and Garden of the Gods region near Colorado Springs, one of the most heavily photographed western tourist destinations of the late 19th century.
Based on the mount style, typography, and albumen printing process, this stereoview likely dates to the 1880s. Similar Monument Park Colorado stereoviews from this period were widely produced by western landscape photographers and sold as tourist souvenirs of the American frontier.
Condition shows foxing, toning, edge wear, scattered spotting, and light mount wear consistent with age. Blank reverse. Please review photos carefully for overall condition.
