Notes	"Expedition of 1871" and "1st Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler. Corps on Engineers, Commanding." printed on stereo card.; An eagle and shield logo, "War Department Corps of Engineers. U.S. Army" and "Geographical and Geological Explorations and Surveys West of the 100th Meridian" printed on verso.; Condition: emulsion worn, stained.; Number "127" etched in original and reproduced in photographic print.; Spots on original reproduced in photographic print.; Title, numbers "No. 10." and "(F.127.)" and descriptive information: "The first opportunity to get pictures of them, owing to a superstitious fear of the camera. The weather was quite warm, as may be inferred from the lack of covering. (The geologist in the background pondering whether the specimens before him are pliocene or eocene, but concludes that they are 'carboniferous.)" printed on label on verso.; R7110078789
