Stereo cards are cardboard cards with side-by-side photos which can be viewed through a stereoscope for a 3D illusion. Vital for depicting battlefield realities when photos were scarce. Were used up until the 1930s.

Diablerie delight! No photo can do these illuminated French tissue stereo cards justice. Scenes depicting hell, modelled in clay, with a layer of colour added for viewing when backlit. Part of the Kodak Collection @MediaMuseum 📸 #diableries #stereoviews #stereocards
Big Thank you to @WbHeritage and everyone who came to my talk Victorian Newbury in 3D at the historic Newbury Cloth Hall of the West Berkshire Museum last night.

I’ve been experimenting with the function on @spmaker that turns my #stereoscopic #FujiW3 pics into nice #stereocards, akin to the antique ones we’re all familiar with.
Here are my favourites, with apologies for the awful proofreading errors:

I only have one #stereoview of a cyclist that I took myself (pic 1).
However, as you can see from these antique #stereocards I own, cycling has been a subject of #stereoscopic photos for well over a hundred years!

Thinking of the sea, and water generally. I love it!

Here is a ‘Stereograph’ viewer by Beckers with patent dates of 1857 & 1859. Rosewood case with exterior knob that advances the 17.3/4” x 10.1/4” #stereocards. Contains 36 stereoviews, either printed scenes, or images published by the Keystone View Co.
As opposed to Jules Richards ‘chain’ movement, Beckers used a ‘transport belt.’ Beckers Tabletop #StereoViewer had 50 images fixed on the belt. It was patented 7 April 1857 and given the name “Stereoscop Americain.” Beckers Rosewood #Stereoscope (rearview), below.
#Stereocards were invented in England in the mid-1800’s. You can find original cards or download scans from @librarycongress: https://t.co/YNgUxlLK1e
We use similar techniques today by collecting 3D stereo overlapping images with #UAS cameras. We can then create new stereocards!
Revolving stereoscopes were less expensive and many models support glass stereo views or paper #stereocards. This Vérascope Revolving Stereoscope by Jules Richard has no mirror to illuminate stereocards and is designed for the 45x107mm glass format. Images © André Ruiter.
The architecture of Richard's Vérascope Revolving Stereoscope is built on a chained structure that includes holders for stereo views. The stereo views are seen one by one as the chain is revolved. Series Images © André Ruiter.
The interior of this type of viewer holds a number of #stereocards in mounts on a belt. When the knob on the side is turned the cards come into view one at a time. #Stereoview #Stereoscopic -30-

The #Vérascope was the first #stereo camera to contain Jules (below) Richard's new 45x107mm glass plate negative format. Vérascope became a trademark for #stereoscopes and other accessories that adopted the format.
