Permission to publish material from the Stereoview Photos of locations in Europe must be obtained from the
Color and black and white prints of various locations in U.S. and in Europe including London, Paris, Edinburg, including photo of USS Chicago, and an unidentified group dressed in kilts, with writing on verso of several cards. Because of the small size of this collection, it is housed in the Assorted Photograph Collections. These collections generally range in size from 1 to 25 photographs. They don't take up a single box and have been compiled into boxes that they share with other small collections to save space.
Stereographs or Stereoviews consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. Typically, the images are on card mounts, but they may take the form of daguerreotypes, glass negatives, or other processes. Stereographs were first made in the 1850s and are still made today. They were most popular between 1870 and 1920.
Stereographs are usually mounted. They were typically published with caption information printed under the image or on the back of the mount. The mount also provided information about the publisher, photographer, and sometimes the series or a list of views available from the photographer or publisher.
Stereographs were collected by many middle-class families in the late 19th century. People acquired stereographs of tourist sites they had visited, as well as exotic locales that they would only experience through the wonder of the stereoscope. Viewing stereographs was a common activity, much like watching television or going to the movies today. Stereoviews were also used as an education tool in classrooms.
