Stereo Views of Florida and the Caribbean

Late nineteenth century children and adults loved stereographs. Put a double-photograph card in a viewer, peer through through the viewer at the card, and behold! The two photos seemed to blend into one three dimensional view.

While the stereographs on this site do not reproduce that 3-D effect, they do give a glimpse of Florida and the Caribbean area a century ago. Follow the links and enjoy.
