This stereoscopic photograph, "The Cañon of Kanab Creek, near its junction with the Grand Cañon of the Colorado," was taken by William Bell in 1872. The image depicts a rugged canyon scene, likely from Bell's expedition led by Lieutenant George Wheeler. The view features the rocky walls of the canyon, a small spring providing water, and likely part of the Colorado River in the distance. This photograph serves as a documentation of the American West's natural beauty and the exploration of its vast landscapes in the late 19th century.
