Opening: $25 Hammer Price: $26 SOLD Skylight Gallery 17 November 2003

Albumen-print stereoview on white curved mount ca. 1870, showing a female sitter posed in an oval frame.   ( Inventory# hb25 )

A wonderful view in rich, mint condition. The sitter and vase behind her view three-dimensionally as "seen through" the ornate three-dimensional frame. No visual evidence is present as to how the trick was accomplished. The 19th-century wall painting sprung into three-dimensional life!
