Antique Stereo View Cards for Cross-Eyed Viewing.
Stereo view cards were two pictures mounted for parallel viewing, on 7 x 3.5 inch heavy cards, usually curved slightly with axis along the long length. We have reprinted them here with the left and right pictures interchanged, for cross eyed viewing. In some cases we have corrected alignment and matched the image tone where one picture may have faded.
