A collection of approximately 450 stereographs on Asian subjects
Various places: publishers as below, ca. 1900-1915. Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, mounted on heavy card stock, and paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, when viewed through a stereoscope. Such a stereoscope is included here. Many of them were published with caption information printed under the image or on the back of the mount. Condition varies, but on the whole these are in very good to fine condition. The views (by country) are as follows. Some are printed in color (and are so identified), others are original photographs and mostly black & white: Burma (10): Keystone View Co. (4) and Underwood & Underwood (6); China & Manchuria (115): Keystone View Co. (17), Underwood & Underwood (13), Geo. W. Griffith (1), Stereo Travel Co. (1), Universal Photo Art Co.
