Washington and Railway Trains, from the Base. Benjamin is well known for his photojournalism, stereoview publishing company, the invention of a photo gun camera, as well as search and rescue work on Mount Washington. 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. All items are protected in archival sleeves and packaged in rigid cardstock. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Stereoviews & Stereoscopes”. The seller is “calamityphoto” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
