Albumen stereoview portrait of opera soprano Parepa-Rosa, Euphrosynean, photographed and published by J. Gurney & Son, 5th Ave. cor. 16th St., New York. The stereoscopic images show a seated bust-length studio portrait of a woman with braided hair arranged high on the head, wearing earrings and a fitted dress with decorative trim and a striped bow at the collar. The photographer’s imprint is printed vertically along the left margin of the mount.
The portrait reflects the formal studio style and dress fashions of the late nineteenth century, with careful attention to hair arrangement and structured bodice typical of studio portraits produced for stereoscopic viewing.
The mount is a yellow stereoview card with square albumen prints and printed studio imprint along the left side. No printed title or identification is visible.
