A sepia-toned stereoview photograph, part of Isaac Almstaedt's "Staten Island Gems" series, taken circa 1875. The image is captioned "Wann's Glen -- Toad Hill" and depicts a verdant landscape with trees, dense foliage, a small body of water, and a distant structure (possibly a bridge or railway). The background features a distant hill or horizon, indicative of a rural or semi-rural scene. The photograph is mounted on a card, characteristic of 19th-century stereoviews, with handwritten annotations "Wann's Glen -- Toad Hill" and numeric identifiers on the reverse. 3.
