Trout on Table: Striking c. 1880s Stereoview, Charles E. Smith Vermont danish ceramics Stereographs came into widespread use

Stereographs came into widespread use in the second half of the 19th century

They come in the old curdoroy bag in which I found them

following the others done likely by an older sibling

I am not entirely sure that these are Jugtown North Carolina pottery

Trout on Table: Striking c. 1880s Stereoview, Charles E. Smith Vermont danish ceramics Stereographs came into widespread useThis is the last of a handful of striking (I think) stereoviews I purchased together that came from one collection, and this may be my favorite of all them. Feels to me one part Dutch still life, one part French Surrealist, and one part magic trick waiting to happen. And just a stunning photograph formally, times two, made even better by the orange perimeter of the card. 7" x 3 7 8". Charles E. Smith, Bristol, VT. c. 1880s I believe. Scattered stains
