Summary

Stereograph shows destroyed buildings after the burning of Chambersburg on July 30, 1864.

Purchase; Russell Norton; 2012; (DLC/PP-2012: 069).

During the Civil War, photographers produced thousands of stereoviews. Stereographs were popular during American Civil War. A single glass plate negative capture both images using a Stereo camera. Prints from these negatives were intended to be looked at with a special viewer called a stereoscope, which created a three-dimensional ("3-D") image. This collection includes glass stereograph negatives, as well as stereograph card prints.
