This stereoscopic photograph, "Balmoral Castle" by G.W. Wilson, captures the grand Scottish estate in the mid-19th century. The image, a staple of Victorian-era tourism, uses the viewer’s perception of depth to create a three-dimensional effect. The iconic castle, set against the backdrop of rolling hills and a winding river, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Balmoral. The work is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with landscape and architecture, and the power of photography to capture these subjects.
