Stereograph of Lincoln Home Exterior with Ladies Crossing in Front
1915 - 1918

Stereoscopes became a popular toy for children and adults by the mid-1800s and have continued in popularity.  They are now called “ViewMasters”. The cards used in the toy are called stereographs and feature nearly identical images set side-by-side. This view of the Lincoln Home being visited by fashionable ladies is from the late 1910’s.
