It's too hot and humid to do much of anything very industrious here at the end of a holiday week in July, so if you're so hot that your eyes are glazing over, that's the perfect time to study one of these stereographic images from the Library of Congress, and this one, titled "An Afternoon Tea," is from 1891.
Click here to see it even larger on the LOC site. This one was a fairly simple scene and seemed easy to view in 3D. And if you're new to how these work, you just let your eyes sort of loosely stare at the line in the middle of the image until the two images eventually start to blur, and then lo and behold, the combined image does indeed begin to look dimensional, as if you're right there having tea with two little girls in 1891. Enjoy!
How neat! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute picture, with the girls and their dolly having afternoon tea! I can never achieve the desired 3-D effect, but I enjoy the photo anyway.
ReplyDeleteLove this picture. I am always looking for vintage tea pictures when I walk through an antique shop.
