The reverse of the cdv has J. Cooper ,Photographer , London C.W.I had thought this was from the UK London, but now believe it is again what we call Ontario, but at the time was known as Canada West.... a trap for young and old players.

First of all an apology to Michael Pritchard and others, this discussion should really have been here rather than the Blog, so I am continuing it here.The attached cropped images are from my collector friend's collection. They are from stereographs of people involved with stereo in some way. I will add another image where both Ron and I are unsure. It's called "The Inquisitive Maid". It is certainly an optical object, but is it a form of Brewster viewer?No photographer nor publisher of views…See More

Attached is a cdv of a young lady standing along side a column with an album and a Brewster viewer. I sat down in an antique store last week and went through hundreds of cdv cards from…

1860s stereo images: Help to try to identify photographers
I returned to my one local antique store this week and traded some images I had for scores of English stereoviews. One is easy to identify in terms of place as its written on the back in copperplate "Royal York Crescent, Clifton. Bristol." I wonder if this view attached could be by William Harvey Barton, who was…
