J.C. Burritt’s stereograph, *Buttermilk Creek, Ithaca, N.Y. 3d, or Pulpit Fall, 30 feet high,* is a 19th-century photographic depiction of Buttermilk Falls State Park in Ithaca, New York. The stereograph presents a clear and detailed view of the cascading waterfall, framed by the surrounding rocky cliffs. Burritt's use of the stereographic technique created a three-dimensional effect, enhancing the viewer's perception of depth and perspective. The artwork's historical significance lies in its documentation of this natural wonder.
