Black Soldiers WW1 Stereoview c1918 African American Troops Railroad Train F294

Uncle Sam Provides for Comfort of His Soldiers. Colored Troops En Route to France Taking Train Rest at Railway Division Point.

Published by Keystone View Company, formerly one of the largest stereoview publishers in the world. This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It was one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which had two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes.

The two, nearly identical pictures were then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image could then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer. Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches.

All of my paper items are protected in archival-safe polypropylene sleeves and packaged in rigged cardboard. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Photographic Images\Stereoviews & Stereoscopes". The seller is "calamityphoto" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.
