Sometime early in the last century, someone at the Frederic C. Adams Public Library bought just over 600 stereoviews. The views date from 1893 to 1907 and show a wide variety of places around the United States and the world, with commentary from Baedecker’s and other travel guides on the back.
Using a stereoscope to view the double pictures in 3D, library patrons in Kingston could travel the world without leaving Summer Street.
