stereograph, c1900] |
Stereoscopic, or 3D photography, was
popular from the 1850s to the 1930s. In the late 19th century stereoviews,
or stereograph cards,
had a
wide and varied subject matter. Themes ranged from scientific to picturesque,
from historical to humorous, and from
risqué to refined. Displayed are images from a collection of
stereograph cards by photographer William Rau that depict a
"naughty" but humorous side of the late Victorian era.
