This antique circa 1903 stereoview card features a hand-colored lithographic print titled, "Rounding Up a Bunch of Cattle on a North Dakota Range," published by T.W. Ingersoll. The subject matter depicts an authentic Western scene tracking a cowboy on horseback as he drives a herd of cattle across the open plains. This piece belongs to a specific historical context of turn-of-the-century documentary and travel photography, which documented the changing American frontier, indigenous cultures, and rugged cowboy life to satisfy the curiosity of domestic audiences. Intended for use with a handheld stereoscope viewer, the dual side-by-side images merge together to create a realistic three-dimensional visual effect.
