a little work memory a few years ago this day, working with some stereo cards. these done by Rufus Morgan who was one of the preeminent photographers in NC post Civil War. His daughter is more well known as a photographer - Bayard Wootten. the NC Collection at UNC-CH has the most material for him.

Ah - stereograms/stereographs/stereocards - lovely!

Yup! AND I love the 3D effect so much that I’m totally into the original Stereocards and viewers from the 1880s-1930s upon which the Viewmasters were based. It’s so cool that simply slightly shifting the second image will create binocular vision. My photographic soul is apparently THIS old. Ha!

Prisms are the most common type, as used in this early 20th-century Holmes stereoscope. It's good for turn-of-the-century stereocards, unless you plan on printing out a digital image. I'm putting it first because of the prevalence of stereoviewers that use lenses. 3/10

On this #StereoviewSaturday, instead of showing vintage stereocards (as much as I want to), instead I'm going to focus on the viewers. "How do you view these things?" There are two answers for how you take a pair of small images and make them fill your field of vision, fusing into one. 1/10

Update: the collection of 1900s sheet music and the stereocards (with stereo viewer!) were the biggest hits! The hairstyle book also got a lot of action 💇♀️

We have another photograph - a stereoview - from an Indian irrigation system (early 20th c) in the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. If you're interested in an Indian take on this sort of visual culture, Renu Savant's 'Re-Versing The Journey' may appeal: www.bdcmuseum.org.uk/news/a-journ...

Making Stereo cards again!I love making traditional 3D stereocards from modern images. It's just fun to have my own cards that give the enjoyment the Victorians had!

I've got a whole series of stereocards showing the funerals of William McKinley (in Washington DC and in Canton, Ohio). What baffles me are the stereocards showing funeral flowers --why would you want to see them in 3D? But I guess no different than a post mortem photograph.
