This 19th-century stereoscopic card, created by an anonymous artist, showcases a floral arrangement in the shape of an anchor. The use of a stereoscope, a device that creates the illusion of depth by presenting two slightly different images, emphasizes the intricate details of the flowers and the delicate craftsmanship involved in constructing this floral anchor. The image highlights the Victorian era's fascination with nature and its symbolism, using the anchor to represent hope, strength, and stability. This work is a testament to the artistic ingenuity of the time and provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian still-life photography.
