Stereographs were a popular form of photography in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. Two stereoscopic pictures were mounted side by
side on a card approximately seven inches wide and three inches tall. When
viewed through a stereoscope or special glasses, the image appeared to be
three-dimensional.
