This item was produced by The Keystone View Company, founded in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1892. From 1892 to 1963 Keystone produced both educational and comic/sentimental view images using staff photographers whose work was not credited. In 1963 the company was sold and its home-sales stereo view division was closed. If the number on the Keystone stereoview:
- begins with the letter V, an Underwood & Underwood negative was used;
- begins with the letter W, an H. C. White negative was used;
- ends with the letter T, it is part of a Keystone “Tour of the World” set.
On some views a in the upper center of the number will appear stereograph. This is a “set” number. It is the position of that view in its particular boxed set.
