"Untitled" is a stereoscopic photograph by C.H. Wareham, dating from the late 19th century. The work consists of two identical images of a street scene arranged in a grid of thirty-two individual pictures. This format allows for a 3D viewing experience when the image is observed through a stereoscope, creating the illusion of depth and dimension. Such images were popular in the mid-19th century, offering a unique way to view and record daily life. This piece is currently housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
