by
Craig Whitford and Jacob McCormick
Thursday
October 18, 2018 – 7:00 p.m.
Library

We’ll
have you seeing double through the entertainment media of the late 19th and
early 20th century¾the stereograph. Historians Jacob McCormick and
Craig Whitford will introduce you to the little-known world of greater Lansing
stereoview images. They’ll provide you with the history of the stereograph as
well as an overview of those local and national photographers that created
them. You’ll be treated to a tour of images captured as a double-photograph
that, when viewed with a stereoscope, produces a three-dimensional view. Many
of the images Jacob and Craig will present have not been seen before.
