Summary

Pennsylvania stereoscopic card.
Robert Dennis's stereographs collection includes more than 72,000 stereoscopic views organized primarily by geography. The collection bears the name of the native New Yorker who assembled it over a period of more than six decades, Robert N. Dennis (1900-1983).
Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. Stereographs were produced from the 1850s to the 1940s, with the bulk between 1870 and 1920.

Langenheim Brothers was a photography studio founded in Philadelphia in 1846 by William and Frederick Langenheim. They were known for their innovative techniques and pioneering work in the field of photography. The Langenheim Brothers were among the first photographers to use the daguerreotype process and also experimented with stereoscopic photography, which produced 3D images. The Langenheim brothers' work was highly regarded and they received numerous awards for their photography, including a gold medal at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. They also photographed notable figures of their time, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Abraham Lincoln. The Langenheim Brothers' studio continued to operate into the early 1900s, and their legacy lives on through their contributions to the development of photography as an art form.
