Description

33 stereoscopic glass transparencies, printed by the gelatine process, each captioned within the binding in white writing, the edges are bound in black paper. They show scenes from Oxford and nearby places, also Margate, Helsby, Haslemere, Wales, and Bournemouth, and were presumably taken by an amateur rather than purchased commercially.
