Glass Stereoviews « Jeffrey Kraus Antique Photographics

Please Note: Glass stereoviews are notoriously difficult to scan as the distance of the actual image from the scanner bed varies depending on the thickness of the cover glass and the precise construction of each image. Therefore, some of the images appear dark or blurry but are actually fine and sharp in real life. I have often scanned the image from both the front and back as sometimes one side or the other more clearly shows the image.

GL116. F. Langenheim, 1854 copyright line bottom verso. Winter Views Niagara Falls and Vicinity. Table Rock, Canada Side. It’s been brought to my attention that this may be a paper view in the glass mount. The seal looks original and I don’t know if Langenheim issued images in this manner. Possibly the white background was inserted to soften the light so that the image would appear clearer. I assume if they are original Langenheim paper prints that they are salt prints. I am reluctant to open up such a nicely sealed view as either way it is attractive. VG. $175
