I have added a sample of the 3D images taken by John Wesley Powell's 1872 Expedition. The image was painstakingly restored. Adverse conditions on the river, or maybe just time alone has shifted the emulsion brightness, causing drastic reduction in the quality of these old 3D images. Many appear on the USGS site, under Grand Canyon. This is the only one that has been restored to some degree of density balance. It looks quite good with the Red-Cyan glasses.3dnatureguy 06:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I expanded the caption for the image of Powell to include the name of Tau-gu a Paiute who is the second person with Powell in the image. I added a reference for this edit.--Dakota ~ ° 02:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
