This print takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically to the mesmerizing Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. The image showcases two distinct rock formations known as "The Orphan" and "Indian Face Rocks" which stand proudly overlooking the Katoomba Basin. Taken by George Rose, a renowned photographer of his time, this photograph is part of a set of stereocard views titled "Studies through the Stereoscope". These cards were designed to be viewed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, offering viewers an immersive experience of these geological wonders. The rugged beauty of the Blue Mountains is evident in this snapshot. The sandstone cliffs rise majestically against the backdrop of a clear sky, creating an awe-inspiring landscape. The Orphan Rock stands tall with its unique shape resembling that of an orphaned child seeking solace amidst nature's grandeur.

This print serves as both a testament to Rose's skillful artistry and a historical documentation of Australia's remarkable geographical features.
