Stereographic views of Russia.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78374319

Three sepia toned and one hand-colored stereographic views of Russia taken near the turn of the century. Two of the cards are published by Aladdin Stereograph, H.C. White Co., Bennington, Vermont with Doubleday Page & Co., New York as agents. They depict the massive walls and towers of the Kremlin in Moscow as seen from the Moskvoretski Bridge, and the great bell of Moscow, known as the "Tsar Kolokol." Both have historical commentary on their versos. Two other stereographs are published by Keystone View Company (located in various cities: Meedville, Pa.; New York, N.Y.; Portland, Oregon; London, England; Sydney, Aus.). They depict Russian peasants [hand-colored] and Russian troops on review. The latter stereograph is called "a bristling forest of bayonets" and includes commentary on the verso about the overthrow of the Czar's army during the Russian Revolution.

"Information on the H. C. White company is remarkably scarce, considering that they were among the top studios of their day, exceeded only by the Keystone View Company and Underwood & Underwood in volume and by nobody in quality. Hawley C. White, who described himself expansively as photographer, publisher, and inventor, started his career with an establishment in New York City for grinding spectacle lenses in 1870. In 1874 he moved to North Bennington, VT. and set up a small factory for pro...
