Group of two 19th century stereoviews or stereoscopic views depicting Rock Springs, Wyoming including one depicting three figures outside the opening to a mine, inscribed "George Harris Mine, Rock Springs, W.T." in pencil along the verso; and one depicting a landscape view of the town, inscribed "Rock Springs, Wyo T." in pencil along the verso.
Stereoviews (also known as stereographs or stereoscopic cards) are among the first form of 3D photography. The pictures are taken with a special stereoscopic camera, which has two lenses, simulating the views received by the left and right eye. Two nearly identical pictures are then developed and printed, and are mounted next to each other, usually on a piece of card stock (although occasionally glass). When looked at through a stereoscope, the image can then be seen in 3D.
