Original stereocard with two black-and-white stereoscopic photographs tipped in on light beige board. Issued by a pirate stereoview company of the c. 1880s-1890s.

Much of the photo constitutes the alligator on the brush, but a body of water and the reflection of trees on the horizon are visible in the background. The context of the photo is unclear, but the composition has a staged and surreal quality to it. No date, circa 1880s-1890s. 7" x 3 1/2."
