Alexandrine 1869 - 1874

"Alexandrine", a stereoscopic photograph by Jeremiah Gurney, captures a young woman in a contemplative pose. The image was created between 1869 and 1874, showcasing the popularity of this photographic format during the late 19th century. The sitter's delicate features, elegant attire, and introspective expression contribute to a sense of grace and refinement. The photograph's small dimensions, 3 5/16 x 5 3/4 inches, highlight the intimacy of the portrait. Gurney was a renowned photographer who captured the lives of everyday people in 19th-century New York. This stereoscopic image, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the artistry and visual culture of that era.
