This stereoscopic photograph captures a bustling street scene on Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1875, likely during a Mardi Gras celebration. A large crowd of people fills the street, gathered around a prominent statue, possibly of Henry Clay. Buildings line both sides of the street, and utility poles are visible. The reverse of the photograph features ornate Victorian-style lettering reading "Series of Stereoscopic Views of New Orleans and Vicinity" and "PHOTOGRAPHED BY Theo. Lilienthal," accompanied by a decorative cherub logo holding photographic equipment. 3.
