Cascadilla Creek, Ithaca, N.Y. Cascade above dam 1860 - 1865

J.C. Burritt's stereoscopic photograph, "Cascadilla Creek, Ithaca, N.Y. Cascade above dam," depicts a cascading waterfall in a lush, wooded landscape. Created between 1860 and 1865, the image utilizes the popular stereoscopic format of the time. The two images, when viewed through a stereoscope, create a three-dimensional effect, immersing the viewer in the tranquil scene. The photograph captures the natural beauty of the Cascadilla Creek in Ithaca, New York. Burritt's work exemplifies the emerging field of landscape photography during the 19th century.
