Discover a unique piece of photographic history with this antique stereoview card, featuring a captivating scene titled "NO. 637 Indians, Echo Lake." The front of the card depicts a group of Native people (labeled "Indians") engaged in selling pottery and dishes from beneath a tent, likely at Echo Lake, New Hampshire. The dishes are notably hand-colored, adding a vibrant touch to the scene. This stereoview offers a fascinating glimpse into commerce and cultural interactions of the era.Adding to its distinctiveness, the reverse side of the cardboard mount features an entirely different photograph: a large group portrait of individuals, likely a family or community gathering, dressed in period attire. This makes the item a rare 2-sided stereoview, providing two separate visual narratives on a single mount. The card is a fine example of early 3D photography, mounted on a curved cardboard substrate, typical of stereographs from the late 19th century. It captures a specific moment in time, reflecting both a geographic location and social context, making it a valuable addition for collectors of stereoviews, historical photography, and Native American studies.This stereoview is printed on a cardboard mount, consistent with the production methods of the period. The view number and title are clearly printed on the front, providing specific identification for the scene. The inclusion of a second, unrelated image on the reverse is an unusual and interesting feature for an antique stereocard.
