What is a stereo card? From the late 1800s to early 1900s it was a way for travelers to explore the world without leaving home. These cards were meant to be examined in a gadget called a stereo viewer. The images from these time periods reflect a way of life, cultures, city-states that have disappeared into the passages of time. TYPES of STEREO CARDS Real Photo (black and white glossy pasted onto a card), Lithographs, Color Chromes (two previous printed onto a card), all with their individual benefits and drawbacks.
