$15.25

Three Pettijohn package Stereoscopic AROUND THE WORLD series stereoscope cards. Two cards feature the St. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904 : The first is a \"Birds Eye View\" of the St. Louis worlds fair, with gorgeous greens, reds, yellows and whites with condition issues (see description and photo) The second is called \"On the Pike\" at the St. Louis worlds fair and features the throngs of people in period clothing in the street at the fair. The first two cards are from the St. Louis Expo Series. The third is called \"Palace in Moscow Occupied by Napoleon\" part of the Russia series.
All three cards retain their beautiful colorized images. These images were printed directly on the cardboard cards themselves, they are not separate photographs then attached. The each have condition issues from age, storage, handling, but do retain their majesty.
The backs of the cards say \"Around the World without leaving your home - Just like being there\" and then a list of what each of the series offer. I tried doing research, but the best I could find was that this could have been part of a free gift in the cereal box kind of thing, so I don\'t really know.
The cards measure 7\" x 3.5\" and separately each image on the front of the cards measure 3\" x 2-7/8\"
They really are a pretty cool colorized piece of history.
