- Description:
- This is a small collection of Lansing area stereoscopic photographs (stereo views) collected by David R. Caterino. The collection includes some images taken in Grand Ledge (Eaton County), as well as several views of the State Capitol in Lansing (constructed in 1879), street scenes, and one view of the Michigan Agricultural College campus. Each record contains a digitized version of the original stereo view, a 3D anaglyph (viewable with red/blue 3D glasses), and an animated GIF, created using the New York Public Library's <a href="http://stereo.nypl.org">Stereograminator</a> web site. None of the images are dated, but based on content and/or those with an identified photographer, all can be placed at sometime in the 19th century. Stereoscopic technology was invented in 1849 by Sir David Brewster, and remained in popular use from the 1850s into the 1920s.
