Published by Centennial Photographic Company, which was owned by Edward L. Wilson & W. Irving Adams. They had exclusive privileges to take views of the Centennial Exposition.

This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It was one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which had two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures were then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image could then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer.

Imperial-size stereograph, measuring about 4.25 x 7 inches.

Will be shipped safely and securely! All items are protected in archival sleeves and packaged in rigid cardstock.
