Photographer on the beach, Avalon Bay, Catalina Island, CA.

Captured over a century ago, in 1906, this vintage stereograph image features a photographer on the beach on Catalina Island in California. Stereographs are a unique piece of photographic history. Each consists of two nearly identical photographs, taken roughly 7cm apart from each other, which were typically mounted on a card. When these stereograph cards were viewed with a special device known as a stereoscope, the viewer saw an illusion of a 3-dimensional image. Stereographs were most popular between 1870 and 1920, with many collecting them along their travels.

We have digitally restored this beautiful, sepia-toned stereograph. Working from a digital scan of the original stereograph card, we have repaired damage, removed dust and dirt, and corrected fading. Our fine art reproduction prints are made with archival, museum-quality materials.
