This is a black-and-white photo of a man in a dark suit and bow tie. His hair is combed back neatly, and he has a serious expression. The background is plain and light, so the focus stays on his face. The photo was made by a company that specialized in 3D images called *stereoscopes*. These were popular in the 1800s for people to view at home. Check out the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company to learn how they made these early 3D photos.
