| Black Americana stereo card 7 inches long 3 1/2 inches wide. Stereo cards were all viewed in a stero scope. Colorful card of two small girls ne with her back to the viewer the second faces the viewer and the child is eating watermelon. Small frinkles on the corners, there is no color loss to the photo. Below the right photo is the number 7. "Did you say watermelon was no good?" On the cards backNo. & ttle repeated then "Give me liverty and watermelon! Let the pampered epicure rave over a French ragout, a Chinee bird's nest soup or lobster a la Newburg, we ....... etc. then at the end the card number A8523. I've read the age is generally known by the color of the back of the card. This was white not aged tan. White, creamy, glossy were the earliest made from 1854 - 1860. The corners are rounded, however i believe the corners were first rounded in 1870 to prevent card damage, the corners are round on this Black Americana card. (E 258) i have 47 other stereocards if you are searching for a particular category. Oliver Wendel Holmes invented the viewer. Stereoview Stereocard |
