Badlands of Wyoming 1879 - 1892

"Badlands of Wyoming" is a stereoscopic photograph created by William Henry Jackson between 1879 and 1892. The image depicts the rugged, eroded landscape of the Wyoming Badlands, a region known for its dramatic rock formations. This photograph was produced for Jackson's business, W. H. Jackson & Co., which specialized in selling stereoscopic views, a popular form of entertainment in the late 19th century. This stereoscopic view is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection and provides a glimpse into the American West's natural beauty as seen through the lens of 19th-century photography.
