"A Farmer's Life for Me" 1894

"A Farmer's Life for Me" is a stereoscopic photograph by Underwood & Underwood, taken in 1894. The image depicts a rural scene with a farmhouse, a cow, sheep, and several figures. This type of photograph was popular in the late 19th century, and provided viewers with a glimpse into everyday life in the countryside. The stereoscopic effect of the photograph creates an illusion of depth, drawing the viewer into the scene. This image, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a fascinating insight into the history of photography and the ways in which it was used to document and share everyday life.
