Contact seller5-star sellerVintage hand tinted stereoview albumen print, showing a Black dandy having his shoes shined by a young white boy, circa 1880. Printed label on verso notes title ("The White Slave") and catalog No. 4518. Although little is known about the context for the image, The Library Company of Philadelphia suggests that the stereoview coul…d have been taken in London, stating, "Adelphi is a London theater where The Octoroon was performed 1861-1862." Other sources speculate the photograph's origins as New York, as one broadside illustration shows a ship from the Clyde Steamship Company, whose hub was in New York City. 7 x 3.5 inches. Very Good plus, with moderate soil on the verso.

Contact seller5-star seller[Western Americana] Three Albumen Stereoview Photographs showing San Francisco city views as well as a Californian Redwood being cut by a band saw. C. 1860s. Mounted to cardboard measuring 7 x 3.5 inches. The first shows a view of Montgomery street from the vantage point of Market, the packed dirt road busy with horse drawn carr…iages and small figures crossing the sidewalks. Dated 1866. The second shows Kearney street, figures visible and 19 century buildings lining the road, their stone fronts ornately crafted. The final view shows a California redwood being cut by a band saw, its trunk laid open to expose the vast history of its many rings. Stereoviews, mounted to cardboard with two identical images side by side, were designed to mimic 3 dimensionality, a technology popular in the early days of photography. California in the early twentieth century was an object of fascination for the rest of the country who heard stories of giant trees and vast landscapes and wanted to see it for themselves, if only in these pictures. The cardboard of one image is slightly bowed from age. Sunning to the other two images. Details are clear and features of the city recognizable. Overall very good condition.

Contact seller5-star seller[Western Americana] Archive of four stereoviews of different locations in the Yosemite Valley. All are sepia-toned and measure 3" x 7". C.a. late 19th - early 20th cent. Images include a view of the Cathedral Spires from Mariposa Trail, the El Capitan peak from Harding's Trail, a boy fishing with El Capitan visible in background…, and a man standing at the precipice of Glacier Point. Yosemite National Park is the third oldest national park in the United States, after Yellowstone and Sequoia. The park was designated in 1890, meaning these stereoviews likely date to before or very shortly after the park's founding. Several of Yosemite's most iconic views are visible in these images, including the granite monolith El Capitan (captioned "El Capitaine") which has since become a popular rock climbing destination. Today Yosemite draws millions of visitors each year for its breathtaking natural beauty and wildlife, but these images show the valley virtually untouched by non-Native settlers. Overall very good condition. Early stereoview images of Yosemite National Park at the dawn of its founding.

Contact seller5-star sellerAfrican American and blackface staged photo pair documenting how post-abolition culture turned Black life into a staged subject for white entertainment in the early Jim Crow era, normalizing caricature as public performance after slavery. Issued in 1892, the two cards place Black domestic and musical life inside a system that de…nied Black equality while making Black bodies as entertainment and spectacle for national consumption. The set bears on the political and cultural aftermath of emancipation, when formal freedom coexisted with disfranchisement, segregation, and a white public sphere that treated racist fantasy as ordinary amusement. Photo archive of 2 albumen stereographs, each 3.5" x 7", United States, D. W. Kilburn, 1892. One card, titled "The Pastoral Visit", shows a staged cabin interior with African American adults and children gathered around a table as an older visitor enters the room; visible details include bare feet, simple stools and chairs, baskets, crockery, framed wall pictures, and a clock, arranged to turn Black domestic life into a legible scene of poverty and rustic living. The second card, titled "Making the old kitchen rattle", shows a staged musical scene with performers posed as comic entertainers, including fiddlers, dancers, and costumed figures in the same staged interior; the exaggerated performance, costume, and facial expressions align the image with blackface minstrel convention seen at during the era. Together, the pair moves from domestic tableau to comic spectacle, showing how published stereoviews circulated both the claim to depict Black life and the openly fabricated ridicule of it. After abolition, Black Americans entered a period of codified exclusion, racial terror, and cultural theft, which popular media helped sustain by presenting Black life as either picturesque performance or comic distortion. Light handling wear; images strong and clear. Overall very good condition. A pointed record of how systemic racism operated not only through law and labor, but through the ordinary published material that taught viewers to accept racial stereotype as entertainment.

Contact seller5-star seller[African American] [Photography] [Jim Crow] Strohmeyer & Wyman; Underwood & Underwood; Keystone View Co. Stereoview photographs, 1899 to 1905 document the mass production of racialized imagery of African American life in the post Reconstruction South and provide direct evidence of how Black labor, family, and domestic life were…visually constructed for white audiences during the rise of Jim Crow segregation. The images depict cotton field labor, cabin interiors, and staged family scenes, accompanied by captions that employ dialect and narrative framing aligned with plantation mythology and paternalistic ideology. Produced for stereoscopic viewing and wide commercial distribution, the set supports research into visual culture, racial representation, and the dissemination of white supremacist narratives through popular photography at the turn of the twentieth century. Southern United States, primarily Georgia, 1899 to 1905. Group of 9 stereoscopic photographs mounted on standard stereoview cards, most measuring approximately 3.5 x 7 inches, including one hand colored example, with publisher and photographer information printed in margins. Titles include "Cotton is King" (two versions, one hand colored), depicting African American men, women, and children laboring in cotton fields; "Uncle Tom and Little Eva" (1899), showing an elderly Black man seated with a white child in a staged domestic scene; "Blackberries and Milk," portraying a Black woman serving a white child inside a log cabin; and a family interior captioned "De breed am small but de flavor am delicious," depicting a group gathered around a modest table in prayer. Additional cards employ dialect captions such as "We Mary! Sut 'siah! I married young, but I be de mother ob twins," reinforcing caricature through language. One image depicts a white woman in blackface engaged in a commercial transaction, extending the archive's documentation of racial performance. The stereoview format allowed such images to circulate widely in educational and entertainment sets, embedding racialized representations of African American life within domestic viewing practices. These photographs coincide with a period marked by disenfranchisement, racial violence, and the institutionalization of segregation across the South, yet they present a curated vision of labor, domesticity, and social order that omits these conditions. By pairing visual composition with captioned dialect, the images construct narratives of contentment, simplicity, and subordination that aligned with dominant racial ideology. Clean prints with strong stereoscopic clarity; one card with corner crease, others with minor edge wear and light rubbing. Overall very good condition. A cohesive example of early twentieth century photographic media used to shape and reinforce racial perception in the United States.
