Here is a Gettysburg battlefield photo artifact from the late 19th century that is often referred to as a stereoscopic view. This view is titled "Statue of Gen. Reynolds" and was published by Mumper & Co., photographic artists, #25 Baltimore St, Gettysburg, PA. Levi Mumper started a photo gallery business in Gettysburg ca: 1864 and his backmark was "L. Mumper" or Mumper & Co.". Most of his battlefield stereoscopic views are taken during the mid-1870s and depict various locations on the field. The Mumper family photo business was active in Gettysburg until 1948. The face of this stereoscopic, hard-pasteboard card has a red/orange background upon which two of the same photo images of Devil's Den area glued side-by-side. Each image shows General Reynolds standing atop a large pedestal near the entrance to the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. Backside of the card has a period gallery label titled 'Gettysburg Battle-Field Views'. The stereoscopic card specimen measures 7" long x 3½" high and was meant to be seen through a hand-held viewing device that made the image appear three-dimensional. A fine stereoscopic photo artifact of the battlefield.
