79th New York on Parade (In color!)
Hand tinted stereoview! This is one of the well known 79th New York images. Taken on the 4th of July in 1860, it shows the militia on parade.
This scan is from an original handtinted stereoview in our collection! When seen through an original viewer, it is breathtaking and as close as we can get to seeing them as they were in life.
Untouched:
New York Caledonian Club pipers:
The men marching in front clearly have bagpipes held under their arms. In the original stereoview, its clear that they are not wearing uniforms of the militia. They have common outfits worn by Caladonian Club members in the late 50s- early 60s. Non of the pipers have piper's plaids.

Though this was taken in 1898, little had changed from 1860.

"Stereoview"? Technology similar to the Viewmaster?

Yes, but without the lever on the side.

When given a choice, most people will choose.

Yup! That's it. Stereoviews were common in the 50s. They are made with 2 lenses taking 2 images side by side about the distance between adult eyes.
The original 79th Parade Stereoview is old....the card stock is yellow with age, flakes coming off. Its packed up again...rarely comes out  Eventually, we hope to have a small 79th New York museum so these things can be viewed.
