Lick Brook, near Ithaca, N.Y. Falls upper end of the Ravine 1860 - 1865

"Lick Brook, near Ithaca, N.Y. Falls upper end of the Ravine" is a stereoscopic photograph taken by J.C. Burritt between 1860 and 1865. The image captures a cascading waterfall in a lush forested ravine, likely in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This work is a prime example of 19th-century stereoscopic photography, a popular format that used two slightly offset images to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a special viewer. The photograph's meticulous detail and the natural beauty of the scene make it a captivating glimpse into the landscapes of the American Northeast. It is currently in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
