This stereograph, created by Jeremiah Gurney between 1869 and 1874, depicts the renowned opera singer Euphrosyne Parepa-Rosa. Gurney, a prominent photographer of the time, captured Parepa-Rosa in a formal portrait, showcasing her elegant attire and dignified presence. The stereograph, a popular format in the 19th century, allowed viewers to experience a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. This image, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the life and career of one of the most celebrated opera singers of the Victorian era.
