"Cheyenne Falls" is a stereoscopic photograph by William Henry Jackson, a prominent photographer known for his landscapes of the American West. Taken between 1879 and 1892, the image captures the cascading waters of Cheyenne Falls in the Rocky Mountains, showcasing Jackson's mastery of capturing the grandeur and beauty of the natural world. The stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, allows viewers to experience a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. This work is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
