This stereoscopic photograph, "Untitled" by C.H. Freeman, captures a floral wreath from 1874. The image, likely created for a memorial, showcases a wreath of white flowers and greenery draped over a simple wooden cross. The stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope, immersing the viewer in the delicate beauty of the wreath. This artwork reflects the Victorian era's fascination with nature and its symbolic representation of grief and remembrance.
