Les Invalides Napoleon\'s Tomb Stereoview c1879 Paris France Monument French D705:
$12.95

\"The Tomb of Napoleon.\"

Published by Kilburn Brothers, which operated from 1865 until the late 1880s, and was a partnership between Edward Kilburn and Benjamin West Kilburn (1827-1909). Benjamin is well known for his extensive photojournalism and publishing; being the world\'s largest stereoview publisher from 1865 to 1910. Sometime in the 1880s, he began to publish as \"B. W. Kilburn,\' as Edward had retired in 1877. He\'s also known for the invention of a photo gun camera, the development of an early firefighting apparatus, his service in the Civil War (and support of the Grand Army of the Republic), as well as search and rescue work on Mount Washington.

This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It was one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which had two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures were then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image could then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer.

Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches.

Will be shipped safely and securely! All items are protected in archival sleeves and packaged in rigid cardstock.
