Stereographs were an early way of seeing three dimensional images. Two near identical images side by side were placed in a stereoscope which was held close to the eyes and allowed viewers to see the images as one 3D image.
A stereograph consists of two images, both taken from slightly different angles.
These animations simulate the stereoscopic effect that is produced when looking at the images through a steroscope.
These are some of the stereographs held by Stanthorpe Library.
