| Why this designation of "Mexican" ? |
 |
The peak of the stereoscopic photography occured between 1860 and 1870.
At that time, an intense production of the stereo cards exists inducing
a large diffusion of these views. Images were printed on salt paper,
albumin paper or glass plate. Paper prints were very thin and had to be
sticked on cardboard.
Sold at a very low cost, this type of stereoviewer was very common.
|
 With this type of stereoviewer it was also possible to view stereoscopic
images on glass plates like this one.Obtaining this image
required to produce a contact copy of the original negative glass
plate... but the result was great ! This mexican, model
TOZY, was marketed by Paul Vaillant - 207 avenue Daumesnil in Paris
(Phone. 941-88). This dealer has another address - 29 Surène street in
Paris (Phone 326-77). |
