This 19th-century stereograph print by Thomas Richard Williams showcases a still-life composition that exudes both elegance and nostalgia. Titled "Stereograph Still-life of Fowl with Initialed Barrel and Root Vegetables, 1850s" the photograph transports us back in time to an era when photography was still in its infancy.

The attention to detail is remarkable, as every feather on the birds' bodies is meticulously captured. The composition gains further depth with the inclusion of an initialed barrel placed prominently beside the fowls.
