Stereographs

Collection of photographic images of Kansas and other states from the late 19th century and early 20th century of towns, scenery, and events.

This collection consists of stereoviews of Larned, Pawnee County, Kansas and the surrounding countryside. Stereocards are a double set of photographic paper prints mounted on cardstock that is viewed through a stereoscope to produce a three-dimensional image. Once mass-production methods became available, stereocards became widely distributed across the United States by the 1880s.
