Stereo View Photographs of Washington, D.C. c. 1925
A very appealing group of stereoscope views of Washington, D.C. produced in c.1925 by the Keystone View Company. This company produced very high quality stereo views in the early part of the 20th century which were very popular in their day, although many of the views from the 1920's are actually somewhat less common than many people believe. Indeed, as the national fad of stereography began to fade in popularity in the 1920's. Many of these views must have had relatively limited distribution and were produced for a relatively short period. These particular views are in lovely clean condition and are titled as follows: "Decorative Splendor of the Entrance Hall, Congressional Library," "Washington Monument - a Towering Memorial in an Exquisite Setting," "White House (North Front), the Historic Official Home of the President," and " The Nation's Pride - Washington, Capitol City of the United States, from and Airplane." The tones are rich and the resolution is very sharp. In near excellent, clean antiquarian condition with great visual appeal. Each measures c. 7" x 3 1/2". Backs have extensive descriptive text relating to the views. Sold as a group only. Ordering: Please use the Buy Me button below, or phone the shop to order this map.
