Antique Stereoscope (Stereoview) Cards: 50 Card Collection: Lincoln Monument, Brooklyn Bridge Construction, Ships, Architecture & Moore. Antique photos from the 19th century are always fascinating. Stereoview or stereoscopic cards are popular today because the were shot by some of the best photographers capturing America in the late 1800s especially in the larger cities, but most especially New York. These 50 stereoview cards are a remarkable time capsule of a city and America emerging into the 20th Century. Great photo of the Lincoln Monument and US Treasury at the corner of Wall Street and Nassau. Scores of buildings (beautiful, with many long gone), street scenes featuring elevated rail cars and trolleys, pedestrians in top hats and other finery, scenes of Central Park, East River Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Suspension Bridge, the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Broadway. A fantastic collection in overall very fine condtion.
