Early virtual reality

The "Holmes stereoscope" and a collection of "stereo cards" I inherited from my grand mother. The copyright notice on cards reveals the prints are done between years 1901 and 1907, but these devices became as a popular home entertainment medium already in 1850s. Unfortunately there are no information about the photographers and actual dates when the photographs have been taken.

Printed on stereo cards: H.C. White Co., The "Perfec" Stereograph.
