"Enfield Creek, near Ithaca, N.Y. Lower part of Main Fall" is a stereoscopic photograph by J.C. Burritt, dating back to 1860-1865. The image captures the dramatic beauty of a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff, framed by lush foliage. Burritt's use of stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect, enhancing the viewer's experience of the natural landscape. The photograph is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. This work exemplifies the burgeoning genre of landscape photography, which sought to capture the grandeur of nature through the lens of the camera.
