A Brief History of the Stereoview

As early as 1838, before the invention of photography, Charles Wheatstone developed a device which he called a stereoscope for viewing drawings in three dimensions. Photographs later replaced the drawings, first with daguerreotypes and ambrotypes and then with images printed on albumen paper mounted on cardboard. These photographs were called albumen prints because the process used paper that was coated with a solution containing egg whites. The process, invented in 1850 by Frenchman Louis D. Blanquart-Evrand, remained the standard for stereoviews until the introduction of gelatin-bromide paper in 1873.
By 1859, stereoviews were extremely popular in the United States with major publishers as well as local photographers producing images for the new phenomenon. For the first decade after their introduction, however, stereoviews and the stereoscopes used to view them were relatively expensive. Prices began to fall and production increased as the process became easier to use. More aggressive marketing also helped to lower prices so that by the 1880's viewing stereo cards became a common pastime in middle and upper class parlors.
