Historical Information
Stereograph images are composed of two images placed side by side. Many different photographic processes were used, but they were generally produced by a camera that had two lenses spaced to approximate human eyes, and the images were produced simultaneously. When viewed through a stereoscope or another similar device, the images appear three-dimensional, with each eye receiving a slightly different image.
Stereographic techniques were developed in the early 19th century, but stereograph cards were most popular in the United States after 1850 and until the early 20th century. Images were produced on cards that could be sold commercially and viewed through a stereoscope.
