Hand-colored portrait of a group posing in front of Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County, Virginia, c. 1859-1860. Attributed to William England. Originally published as a stereoview by London Stereoscopic Company. The man sitting in shadow on a ledge at right might have been a local guide that the photographer had hired while the three posing at the bottom of the gorge might have been tourists.
The place for the most fascinating photographs from history specializing in animating stereoscopic images.
