Biographical History
One of the stereographs located in the Arkansas History Commission General Photograph File. Stereographs, composed of two photographs made by a camera with two lenses 2 1/2" apart mounted on a single card. As stereographs were popular as a source of photographs from around the world, they were mass produced and distributed. Views of Arkansas immortalized in stereoscopic views included locations in Eureka Springs, Hot Springs, Little Rock and Siloam Springs.
In 1882 Elmer and Ben Underwood set up an office on Ottawa, Kansas to distribute Eastern photographers' stereographs to the Western market with door-to-door salesmen. By 1891, they had established a plant in Ottawa to manufature stereo photographic cameras, stereo views and stereoscopes; moved their headquarters to New York City, opened branch offices in Baltimore, New York, and Liverpool. By 1901, Underwood and Underwood was manufacturing packaged sets of stereo views--25,000 a day (more than seven million a a year), and 300,000 stereoscopes a year.
