Summary
Colorado stereoscopic card.
Robert Dennis's stereographs collection includes more than 72,000 stereoscopic views organized primarily by geography. The collection bears the name of the native New Yorker who assembled it over a period of more than six decades, Robert N. Dennis (1900-1983).
Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. Stereographs were produced from the 1850s to the 1940s, with the bulk between 1870 and 1920.
William Gunnison Chamberlain was an American photographer born in New York City on 16 November 1815. Chamberlain began his career as a portrait painter, but in the early 1840s he became interested in photography. He learned the daguerreotype process and opened a studio in New York City in 1843. He quickly gained a reputation for his work and became one of the most sought-after photographers of his time. Chamberlain was known for his portraits of famous people, including politicians, actors and writers. He also photographed landscapes and cityscapes, and his images of Niagara Falls were particularly popular. In addition to his work as a photographer, Chamberlain was also an inventor. He patented several improvements to the daguerreotype process, including a device for taking panoramic photographs. Chamberlain continued to work as a photographer until the late 1870s, when he retired. He died on 17 January 1910 at the age of 94. His legacy lives on through his photographs, which are now held in collections around the world.
