Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
I have become interested in finding images of folk with stereo viewers . I had such an image in my collection for decades and have come across more recently on online sites. 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 around the world and found only this image amongst them. I had found a seller online who is sending me 7 from around the world (UK, Canada, USA).. Postage from USA is ridiculous at the moment.
I have also digital scans of two a local collector friend had in his collection from glass plate negatives.
The CDV attached is unknown subject and unknown photographer and nothing on the reverse at all. I assume from the 1860's. Not perfect with some evidence of imperfect original processing? Would welcome any thoughts and discussion.
