Marie Aimee (1852-1887) 1869 - 1874

This stereoscopic photograph of Marie Aimee, taken between 1869 and 1874, is by Jeremiah Gurney. Gurney was a prominent photographer who worked in New York City during the 19th century. This portrait, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, captures Aimee in a formal pose, highlighting her elaborate hairstyle and large, dangling earrings. The use of a stereoscopic format, which creates a three-dimensional effect, adds to the intimacy of the image.
