"Her Guardian Angel" is a stereoscopic photograph by Keystone View Co. from 1894. It depicts a woman asleep in a bed, with an angel hovering over her, its wings outstretched in a protective gesture. The image captures the Victorian fascination with the afterlife and the spiritual realm. Stereographs were popular in the late 19th century for their ability to create an illusion of depth, making the image appear three-dimensional. The delicate composition and ethereal nature of the angel make this piece a beautiful and evocative representation of a timeless belief.
