Waterval van Arpenaz nabij Sallanches, Frankrijk 1867

This stereoscopic photograph, "Waterval van Arpenaz nabij Sallanches, Frankrijk" (Waterfall of Arpenaz near Sallanches, France), by E. Savioz, is a beautiful example of 19th-century landscape photography. The image captures the dramatic beauty of the waterfall, its cascading water appearing to flow right out of the photograph. This type of imagery was popular at the time, as it allowed viewers to experience the grandeur of nature from the comfort of their homes. The stereoscopic effect, created by viewing the image through a special viewer, further enhanced the illusion of depth and realism. Savioz, a photographer based in Chamonix, France, specialized in capturing scenic views of the region. This particular photograph showcases his talent for composing stunning landscapes and capturing the beauty of the natural world.
