Description: Stereoview from Lieutenant George M. Wheeler's Expedition of 1873. Part of the series "Geographical Explorations and Surveys West of the 100th Meridian" this being No. 23. Lieutenant George M. Wheeler's surveys ran from 1869-1879, Timothy H. O'Sullivan joining the expedition in 1871 as a photographer. Wheeler captioned O'Sullivan's photographs providing geological, geographical and cultural information, hoping to emphasize that the West was a hospitable place for settlers (Smithsonian Institution). Title reads: Explorer’s Column, Canon de Chelle, Arizona. This shaft is the work of nature, and is about 900 feet in height; base about 70 by 110 feet. It stands near the center of the Canon, and it is almost impossible to believe that it is not the work of human hands." Stereoview is on yellow mount with black lettering on front and red lettering on verso. The card measures 7" x 4"; number "14" written in the negative. The image is nice and clean with some mild edge wear along the corners. The back of the card has water staining along the edges. Red text faded a bit. See scans.
