Stereoview photograph
Height approx 3.5 in / 8.9 cm
Width approx 7 in / 17.8 cm
Provenance: Private Colorado collection
This 1870s stereoview photograph by W. H. Jackson shows a Native American rider posed on horseback in front of a tipi. The mount identifies the series as “Views among the Rocky Mountains of Colorado,” with Jackson credited as photographer. Because the sitter’s tribal affiliation is not provided, the listing should remain general rather than assigning a specific culture.
Stereoview photographs were made with two nearly identical images mounted side by side and viewed through a stereoscope to create depth. They were widely collected in the nineteenth century as a way to view people, landscapes, and places beyond the viewer’s immediate surroundings. The yellow mount, printed side text, and paired images are part of the object’s period presentation and photographic history.
