Stereographs

Company: Underwood & Underwood
Composition: Silver Gelatin on Cardstock
Date: 1900-1910

A stereograph consists of two pictures taken at slightly different angles and mounted on a card. When viewed through a stereoscope they give the viewer a three dimensional picture. If you are old enough to remember having a ViewMaster, it's basically the same thing.

Underwood & Underwood was started in 1881 and sold to Keystone Viewing Company in 1920 or 1921. My initial assumption was that these two stereographs were made between 1900 and 1910. I am still researching, but I think they might possibly be from before 1895.




The Star of Bethlehem

The Star of Bethlehem (back)

The title, The Star of Bethlehem, is repeated in five languages. I believe they are French, German, Spanish, Swedish, and Russian. This is found on many of the stereographs published by Underwood & Underwood.
