The Mall 1873 - 1881

"The Mall" is a stereoscopic photograph created by J.W. & J.S. Moulton in the late 19th century, depicting a tree-lined walkway in an urban park. This type of photography, popular in the 1800s, created the illusion of depth by presenting two slightly different perspectives of the same scene. The image captures a moment in time, showcasing the leisurely stroll of individuals and the serene ambiance of the park. The photograph, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the social life and urban landscape of the 19th century.
