This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op de bron van de Aveyron," by Ernest Eléonor Pierre Lamy, captures a stunning view of the source of the Aveyron River near Chamonix, France. The image, created between 1860 and 1880, showcases the power and beauty of nature, with the glacial meltwater carving its way through the rugged landscape. The stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, provides a unique three-dimensional perspective, immersing the viewer in the scene. Lamy's photograph contributes to the growing popularity of landscape photography in the mid-19th century and offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring natural wonders of the French Alps.
