Rare antique stereoscope card by master pioneer photographer Charles Emery. This 3d photograph is a cityscape image in a series he produced called "Views of Rocky Mountain Scenery, Scenes along the line of Denver & Rio Grande Railroad", I have several others rare Charles E Emery stereoviews listed too.

The title of the photograph is handwritten on the back which intimates that these may be his first originals. This particular one is a moonlight view of Main St Silver Cliff Colorado. The scene shows shop fronts with their lights on using electricity. The two front stores are a plumbing and gas fitting store and a cigar parlor. There are also telegraph poles on the left which put this around 1880 as are the other images.

Some of Charles E Emerys works are currently on exhibition at The Annapolis Collection Gallery, Annapolis, MD.

Condition Disclosure

All our items are vintage/antiques and most have had decades of use. A buyer of vintage objects should assume a baseline of wear. I am always honest and clear in my descriptions and always endeavor to point out any flaws to avoid disappointment but I cannot disclose every minute sign of use on our items as it would be impossible to do so. You should assume these are present unless we specify otherwise here at the beginning of the condition report.



Please do not hesitate to request additional photographs should you wish to inspect the item in more detail before purchasing it or if you have any questions at all that are not answered in my description. I normally respond to enquiries very quickly.
