Stereo cameras have been around for over 150 years in one form or another and picked up in popularity after WWII with the widespread availability of roll film. Pentax even tried to bring back the feature in a bunch of their digital point and shoots 4-6 years ago. I would be psyched to get my hands on some stereo photos from any war period! |

Neat. I remember getting taught how to use stereopairs of aerial photos in geography classes and how to make them for scanning electron microscope photos back in the 80s. How times change! |

We have a bunch of old ones from the turn of the century. They are pretty neat. Thanks for the find. |

Interesting stuff – but the flickering pictures are unwatchable. |

I live not far from Gettysburg, PA. There was quite a celebration and commemoration of the 150th anniversary just last week. One of the park ranger guided tours was about photography during the Civil War and in particular the local battle. They mentioned that a goodly amount of the pictures available were 3D. Often a photo was shot in 3D and 2D. They also remarked about the quality of detail in the negatives. Since the negatives were glass plates something on the size of 6" x 8" or "8" x 10" (I cannot recall the exact dimensions.) the quality of the print was very high and detailed. |

The Hill 60 museum in Ypres has hundreds available for viewing.
Some are slightly damaged but the majority is intact. |
