Stereoscope slide, photograph of a bust of Mary Somerville, English, late 19th century.

Two black and white images of a bust of Mary Somerville, next to each other on a rectangular piece of cardboard, with a small white border. The two images are identical, except for the level of exposure, with the left being more exposed than the right. The bust has been photographed at an angle, and the inscription on the statue is clearly visible, reading "Mary Somerville"
