American Scenery

American Scenery was a photographer, or a collective of photographers, who specialized in creating stereoscopic photographs of landscapes and urban scenes. This particular image, titled “Niagara—Inclined Railway—Prospect Park” is a classic example of their work. The 3D effect, achieved by photographing the same scene from two slightly different angles, brings the steep incline of the railway and the intricate wooden structure to life. The photographer likely captured this image to document the impressive feat of engineering and showcase the popularity of this tourist attraction in Niagara Falls, New York.
