The History of the 19th-Century North Country in 3D [F-25-22]

19th Century Stereoviews, 3-D photographs that required a special viewer, were the original photographic souvenirs. Thousands were made in the North Country by photographers such as Seneca Ray Stoddard in the Adirondacks and A.C. McIntyre along the St. Lawrence River. This course will feature hundreds of 3-D photographs in four classes focusing on St. Lawrence County, the Thousand Islands, Adirondacks, and Watertown Area including a session devoted to Religious Campgrounds from Martha's Vineyard to Chautauqua and the 1000 Islands. The class will include the opportunity to view many photographs in 3-D.

Tom French is a freelance writer and regular contributor to Adirondack Explorer.
