Gezicht op het Oor van Dionysius, Syracuse 1862 - 1876

This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op het Oor van Dionysius, Syracuse," taken by French photographer Jean Andrieu between 1862 and 1876, captures the Ear of Dionysius, a unique geological formation in Syracuse, Sicily. The photograph showcases the cave's imposing structure and its acoustic properties, which allow whispers at the entrance to be amplified and heard clearly within the cave. Andrieu's use of stereoscopic photography allowed for a three-dimensional view of the natural wonder, offering viewers a more immersive experience of this historical site.
