Under the Snow 1870s - 1880s

"Under the Snow" is a stereoscopic photograph by Henry Hamilton Bennett, created sometime between the 1870s and 1880s. This work captures a group of figures navigating a snow cave, highlighting the stark contrast between the figures and the icy landscape. The use of stereoscopic photography creates a three-dimensional effect, further immersing viewers in this wintry scene. The image is part of a larger collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, offering a glimpse into the popular interest in stereoscopic viewing during the 19th century.
