This is a stereoview that is 7 x 3¼ inches (175x85mm).

It shows a large, conical tent structure resembling a wigwam set among trees in a park-like setting. In front of the structure, there is an outdoor seating area with numerous small tables and chairs. A few people are seated at the tables, and a low wooden fence runs across the foreground. The left margin of the front mount reads "Exposition Universelle De Vienne" and "Edition de l 'Association des Photographes de Vienne". The right margin reads "Weltausstellung In Wien 1873" and "Verlag der Wiener Photographen-Association".

The reverse has a printed label with the number "143." and the title in three languages: "Nordamerikanischer Wigwam. — North-American Wigwam. Le Wigwam De L' Amérique Du Nord." There is also a handwritten number "3" in blue ink above the label.
