Fanny Dearden 1869 - 1874

"Fanny Dearden" is a stereoscopic photograph by Jeremiah Gurney, dating from 1869-1874, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This portrait captures a young woman in a formal pose, her hand delicately touching an earring. The use of the stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect, adding to the intimate feel of the image. Gurney was a renowned photographer, known for his studio portraits and landscape photography, making this piece a valuable example of his artistry.
