Piermont Murder Scene Stereoview c1865 New York Haunted Farm House Barn NY B793

I’m not sure to which murder they are referring, but it says “Scene of the Piermont Murder”. Photographer and publisher are unknown. 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. Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches. All of my items are protected in archival sleeves and packaged in rigged cardboard. 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.
