Original mammoth stereoview photograph measuring approximately 7 x 4¼ inches depicting "The Falconer" statue in Central Park, New York. This sculpture, officially titled Falconer, was created by American sculptor George Blackall Simonds and installed in Central Park in 1875 near Fifth Avenue and 67th Street. The image shows the bronze figure holding a falcon aloft, one of the park's lesser-seen but highly recognizable 19th century sculptures.
This stereoview likely dates to the 1880s based on the mount style, albumen printing process, and decorative "Standard Series" side borders. The card retains strong detail and attractive tonal contrast for the period.
Blank reverse. Condition shows age-related toning, foxing, mount wear, and corner wear, including loss to the upper right corner. Please review photos carefully for condition.
