Author: (STEREOVIEW CARD)
Title: Conemaugh Boro Fire Engine, Johnstown, Pa
Description: N.p. N.p. 1889. 3½" X 7" heavy card stock. bearing two side-by-side near identical sepia tone images. Very good. Light age toning per usual, corners rounded (as issued). One of the "Popular Series" cards (as printed vertically at left/right side of images), this closeup depicts a mangled fire engine lying on its side amidst timbers and clutter in a muddy landscape, a barren hill in the background. Stereoviews or stereopticons were the earliest form of 3-D images, being two near-identical views that, when viewed through a hand-held stereoscope, lent a convincing three-dimensionality to two-dimensional photographs. A superb example from one of the great disasters of late 19th century America. .
