Frederick Scott Archer
Wet-Plate Photographer in the Field. (c. 1870)
Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge
From the Robert Dennis Collection, New York Public Library
Stereo graphs are taken of the same thing but at different exposures as you can see with the bridge photo. They were usually printed on think cards so they could stand on a stand that was on a special pair of goggle/glasses that looked and acted similar to binoculars, they would be a great equivalent to the device used for stereo graphs. The picture came together to make 1 photo that had all the highlights and low lights to make the first 3D photo or . . . well pretty darn close to it for those times. My favorite of these two is the one with the men on the bridge.
