Publishers Description:

Our Stereoscope books will look like a long-forgotten photo album discovered in Grandma's attic, which opens up to display a lost world come to life through 3-D photography. Each book will include a brief, colorful history of stereoscope photography, which started in the 1850s offering people their first photographic views of the world and remained popular until the Great Depression of the 1930s. This was the television or internet of the time, and millions of viewers and photos were sold by traveling door-to-door salesmen. 45 images will be reproduced, along with their reverse side including a detailed historical caption on the subject.
