"Saratoga Springs and Vicinity"

Charles Warren Woodward

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a rock formation with water on top and a glass placed on its surface. The image is presented in a stereoscopic format with two almost identical images side by side. The rock formation appears rugged and textured, with a distinctive basin-like shape at the top filled with liquid. There is a glass resting at the center of this basin. The setting seems to be an enclosed area, potentially suggesting that this is a well-known or preserved natural feature. The card surrounding the photograph is labeled with ornate typography, indicating its context as "High Rock Spring" from Saratoga Springs.
