Duluth in Stereoview

Stereoview in the City of Duluth

Ah, the stereograph — a nineteenth-century wonder in which almost identical photographs, side by side, can be viewed with a stereoscope and appear three-dimensional. On a website they just appear silly and pointless, but in this case there’s some fairly fancy historical scenes to browse.

It's possible to view them in stereo on the web, but, whoa, by the bottom of the page eyeballs get tired. It's also difficult when the right and left images aren't very in sync, like the light levels in the second to last—I just can't get that one to work.
