Multnomah Falls (1903)
Page Content
This 1903
stereograph card view
shows a person admiring
Multnomah Falls. Stereographs are viewed on a
stereoscope, which
displays slightly offset
left-eye and right-eye views of the same scene, thus creating
the appearance of
a single three-dimensional image. The affordable stereoscopes and stereograph cards
were a very popular part of the culture in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many people were avid stereograph card
collectors and stereoscope shows were often a centerpiece of family and
social gatherings.
