History of Stereocards
Stereocards are a double set of photographic paper prints mounted on cardstock that is viewed through a stereoscope to produce a three-dimensional image. It was a popular photographic medium in Europe during the mid-1800s. Once mass-production methods became available, stereocards became distributed across the United States by the 1880s.
The Keystone View Company was a major distributor for stereographic images, located in Meadville, Pennslyvania and producing educational and recreational stereocards from 1892-1963.
