Lincoln home - stereoscope



click on the image for enlarged view ...

"One of the boys' toys is also in the sitting room: a stereoscope. Robert, Willie, and Tad would open the top to allow light into the box, would insert into the stereoscope a card which had two nearly identical photographs side-by-side, and then would peer through the two holes in front. This arrangement would make the images in the photographs appear three dimensional."
