The White Fawn c. 1868

"The White Fawn" is a stereographic photograph taken by Jeremiah Gurney in 1868. It is a portrait of a young woman with curly hair, dressed in a dark dress with a white bow. Gurney was a prominent photographer in the 19th century, and this stereograph, a type of photography that creates the illusion of three dimensionality, demonstrates his skill and mastery of the medium. The "White Fawn" is a compelling example of portraiture in the stereographic format.
