"Fall Creek, Ithaca, N.Y. 2d, or Forest Fall, 60 feet high, from the dam" is a stereoscopic photograph by J.C. Burritt, dating from 1860-1865. It features a view of Fall Creek, a waterfall cascading over a rocky ledge. Burritt's composition captures the natural beauty of the scene with its stark contrast between the rushing water and the surrounding foliage. This stereoscopic photograph, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the American landscape of the mid-19th century through the innovative medium of stereography.
