3D photos

Many of our photos were shot in stereoscopic 3D. (Look for "3D" after the photo number.) Stereo views were all the rage 100 years ago, and again in the 1950s. And they are still lots of fun. Amateur photographers often attempt these, but seldom get it right. Check out ours! (below)

Stereoscopic cards, also called stereo views or stereographs, can be viewed in stereoscopes like this old fashioned Holmes-type viewer.

Or, with a little practice, they can be viewed without a viewer. This is sometimes called "parallel freeviewing."

Try freeviewing! It can not hurt you. Click a Quaint3D pair below to enlarge it to a comfortable viewing size.

Did you know?

When you place an order from these merchants, they contribute a small

(Please do not delete your cookies.)

These commissions, plus sales of our own photos and cards, are
necessary to help defray the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently operates at a loss.
