This stereoscopic photograph, produced by A. Lilienthal, captures a bustling view of Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, around 1876. The image depicts a wide street with cobblestones, numerous pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and streetcars. Multi-story buildings line both sides of the street, with a distant church spire visible. One prominent establishment on the left side of the street is identified as "Lilienthal's Watch & Jewelry." The reverse side of the stereoview features ornate Victorian-style typography, a cherub motif, and decorative borders, branding it as "Series of Stereoscopic Views of New Orleans & Vicinity" by "A. Lilienthal, Portrait & Landscape Photographer."
