Description: "Tip-Top House, and Summit of Mt. Washington" (202) Photographed and published by Benjamin West Kilburn (1827-1909). 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 is one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which has two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures are then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image can 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. Will be shipped safely and securely! All of my paper items are protected in archival-safe polypropylene sleeves and packaged in rigged cardboard.
