content: The stereograph shows the paintings in the Smithsonian Institution picture gallery. They were nearly all destroyed as the result of a fire in the Smithsonian "Castle" in 1865. Stanley took photographs, including stereographs, at the Smithsonian and around Washington, D. C., and the image may well be one of his. The individual portraits are not clear in the stereograph.
