"Untitled" is a stereoscopic photograph created between 1869 and 1874 by Jeremiah Gurney, a prominent photographer working in New York City during the 19th century. The image depicts a young woman in a formal pose, wearing a fashionable dress, a decorative hat, and multiple necklaces. The use of stereoscopic photography was popular during this period, and these images were often used to capture portraits and other important events. This photograph, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the fashion and photographic practices of the Victorian era.

These photographs are examples of a stereograph created by Jeremiah Gurney. A stereograph is made up of two images next to each other on a page. Just like humans have two eyes, a stereoscopic camera has two lenses. The camera makes two pictures that look similar, but are taken from slightly different perspectives. Then, the pictures are placed into a stereoscope viewer (see an example displayed in the case), and the image that the eyes see is three-dimensional. This feature made them popular, although they were more expensive to purchase.
