<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rabid Collector, post: 1520467, member: 11189&quot;]Hi Everyone, just wanted to share with you a recent purchase I made. I bought a 19th century hand held stereoviewer and a collection of stereographs. Some of the stereographs were made by the GAF company in the late 1800s and I realised that these were made of tissue. Tissue stereographs can mean only one thing; the photos had been hand coloured between the photo and the tissue backing layer so that when you have light behind you, the picture appears as black and white 3D picture but when you hold it up to the light it is coloured. These photos are beautiful and although I haven’t quite captured how great they look hopefully the picture will give you some idea.[ATTACH=full]226959[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226959[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226960[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226960[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
