Gezicht op de Rue d'Enfer nabij Luchon c. 1860 - 1880

"Gezicht op de Rue d'Enfer nabij Luchon" (View of Rue d'Enfer near Luchon) is a stereoscopic photograph by E. Soule, dating from c. 1860-1880. The image depicts a narrow, rocky passage, likely a street or path, in the mountainous region near Luchon, France. This photograph is a fine example of the stereoscopic photography popular in the 19th century, which created an illusion of depth through two slightly offset images. Stereoscopic views were often used to capture the beauty of scenic landscapes, as seen here in the dramatic natural setting.
