Antique 1800s Letter From Owego NY New York Mentions Awful Murder Committed
This antique letter from Owego, NY is a fascinating piece of history. Written in the 1800s (perhaps 1887 or 1881, but based on other materials it was found with, I suspect it may be 1857) it offers a glimpse into life during that time period. The letter mentions “strange events” and an “awful murder committed, ” providing a glimpse into the dark side of society during those times. Wear commensurate to age, including smudging, age stains, discoloration, folds, fraying, minor tears, etc commensurate to a letter of its age.

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.
