IJsformaties onder de Horseshoe Falls 1867 - 1891

"IJsformaties onder de Horseshoe Falls" (Ice Formations under the Horseshoe Falls) is a stereoscopic photograph created by Charles Bierstadt between 1867 and 1891. This small-format, 87mm by 175mm image showcases the frozen landscape beneath the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls, New York. Bierstadt, known for his dramatic landscape paintings, captured the mesmerizing detail of the ice formations and the stark beauty of a winter scene. The stereoscopic effect, popular in the 19th century, creates a 3D illusion, immersing the viewer in the icy landscape of Niagara Falls.
