Lot #21: 50+ Vintage Stereoview Cards - Keystone, Underwood & Underwood: Risque, War, Geography…

Stereoview Cards Lot 1 This lot features over 50 vintage stereoview cards (also known as stereographs) from the late 19th to early 20th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into history through 3D images. The collection includes a mix of publishers such as Keystone View Company and Underwood & Underwood, with subjects spanning geography (e.g., Rhine River, Heidelberg Castle, Cologne Cathedral, Leipzig streets, Potsdam gardens), people in daily life and comic scenes (e.g., Edwardian-era humor, family portraits, hunting dogs), war and historical landmarks (e.g., Victory Column, Luther monuments), and religion (e.g., cathedrals, biblical sites like Nazareth and Jerusalem). Highlights include: • Hand-tinted Keystone views of iconic German landmarks like the Blown-up Tower at Heidelberg, Aachen Cathedral, and the rare “Bridge of Boats” across the Rhine at Cologne (pre-1911). • Underwood & Underwood yellow-mount “Group Series” comics with satirical Edwardian themes (e.g., Leap Year proposals, dentists, hungover mornings) – these are highly collectible and in excellent condition. • Religious and historical cards like Martin Luther’s House in Wittenberg and statues of Luther & Melanchthon in Leipzig. Condition varies from excellent (sharp images, vibrant tints, minimal wear) to fair (some foxing, edge chips, or fading on a few). Overall, most are very good with strong stereo effects for viewing in a stereoscope. Perfect for collectors, historians, or ephemera enthusiasts. No viewer included - see Lot 180 for viewer and Lot 179 for more cards. Pickup category timeslot {A}
