Contemporary stereo photograph depicting the writer Jorge Luis Borges seated indoors, produced in 1982. The paired black-and-white prints are mounted in stereoscopic format and identified in pencil on the reverse as taken February 3, 1982 in Austin, Texas. The photographer is credited on the reverse as L. Schweitzman.

Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was an Argentine writer and literary figure best known for short stories and essays exploring themes of infinity, memory, and metaphysical paradox. By the early 1980s Borges was internationally celebrated and nearly blind, frequently appearing at lectures and readings in the United States.

The stereoscopic prints are mounted to a light board with handwritten identification on the reverse reading “Jorge Luis Borges, February 3, 1982, Austin, TX,” along with a copyright notation dated 1982.
