In honor of Nik Wallenda's Walk at Niagara Falls today!

Stephen Peer Crossing Niagara on a tight rope (1860?-1895?)


...and some other fun shots:

Woodville, Canandaigua Lake, N.Y. (1865?-1885?)


Yosemite, California - Artistic studies on Mirror Lake. Mt. Watkins in the distance. (1860?-1874?)

Above images from the New York Public Library, using a tool they call the Stereogranimator that lets users create animated 3-D GIFs from the photos in the archive. Try it!
