This photo shows a snowy mountain scene with jagged peaks in the distance. A group of six people stand near two black tents, scattered across the icy ground. The snow looks rough and uneven, with some patches of rock visible beneath. The photo is split into two panels, like a stereoscopic view—it was meant to be seen with a special viewer to look 3D. The people appear tiny against the vast, empty landscape. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like this.
