This anonymous stereoscopic photograph, titled "Untitled" and dated 1875–99, shows a floral wreath with a small portrait of a man at its center. The image was likely taken as a memento mori, a reminder of death, to commemorate the deceased. The stereoscopic effect, where the image appears three-dimensional when viewed through a stereoscope, enhances the feeling of depth and realism in the photograph, making it a compelling example of 19th-century photographic portraiture and mourning practices.
