File consists of glass stereo transparencies depicting Rocky Mountain scenic views, mountians, wildlife, and horse rides. Includes Bow Valley, Banff, Icefield Parkway, Saskatchewan River, and surrounding areas.
Stereographs are photographs of the same subject taken from slightly different angles. These photos, displayed side by side in a stereoscope, would be viewed at close range, forcing the eye to overlay the two photos to create a 3D effect.
Stereoscopes could be hand held or mounted to a table or other surface. Stereographs could be made with a single camera, moved slightly from the first image taken; specialized dual-lens cameras streamlined the process.
Stereographs can be made with precious metals, glass, paper, and celluloid bases with any kind of photographic process.
