Title
Stereopticians of the 1890's
Description
A photo on a solid paper backing depicts three men and a large machine (a stereopticon) posing for a photograph. Above the photo, an arrow points to the leftmost man and labels him "Fr. Thos [Thomas] Wallace, S.J." The written caption titles this photo "Stereopticians of the 1890's."
The Stereopticians were a student group whose members were trained to operate the stereopticon, a type of slide projector that had the ability to create 3D images and were a precursor to the film projector.
