About This Item

Three Albumen Stereoview Photographs showing San Francisco city views as well as a Californian Redwood being cut by a band saw. C. 1860s. Mounted to cardboard measuring 7 x 3.5 inches. The first shows a view of Montgomery street from the vantage point of Market, the packed dirt road busy with horse drawn carriages and small figures crossing the sidewalks. Dated 1866. The second shows Kearney street, figures visible and 19 century buildings lining the road, their stone fronts ornately crafted. The final view shows a California redwood being cut by a band saw, its trunk laid open to expose the vast history of its many rings. Stereoviews, mounted to cardboard with two identical images side by side, were designed to mimic 3 dimensionality, a technology popular in the early days of photography. California in the early twentieth century was an object of fascination for the rest of the country who heard stories of giant trees and vast landscapes and wanted to see it for themselves, if only in these pictures. The cardboard of one image is slightly bowed from age. Sunning to the other two images. Details are clear and features of the city recognizable. Overall very good condition.
