This collectible antique stereoview card, published by the renowned Keystone View Company, presents a compelling 3D image titled \"Sheep in the Mountains of Judea, Palestine.\" The front of the stereograph features view number P-7331, with P116 also visible above the left image. The scene depicts a shepherd tending a flock of sheep amidst the rugged mountainous landscape of Judea, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century life and biblical settings. The card is mounted on a sturdy curved cardboard substrate, a common format for Keystone stereoviews from this era.The reverse side of this stereoview card, numbered P116—(7331), expands on the scene with the title \"SHEPHARD AND HIS FLOCK, JUDEA\" and a detailed biblical narrative. The text begins: \"The Bible tells us about shepherds like this one. It says that the very night Jesus was born in Bethlehem there were shepherds on the mountains near by. They were watching their flocks as this man is doing. An angel of the Lord came to them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them. They were afraid. Then the angel said, \'Fear not, for I bring you good tidings of great joy. This day there is born in Bethlehem a Saviour which is Christ, the Lord. Ye shall find the babe lying in a manger.\' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, \'On earth peace, good will toward men.\' Then the shepherds said to one another, \'Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing which has come to pass.\' And they went with haste and found the baby lying in a manger. Perhaps these are the very hillsides where those shepherds of long ago watched their flocks that wonderful night. Perhaps this shepherd watches his flock in the same very places. Before and since that time in the land of Judea shepherds have kept their flocks. But no others have seen the angel of the Lord nor heard the voices of angels singing.\" The card bears the copyright of The Keystone View Company, with publisher locations listed as Meadville, Pa.; New York, N.Y.; Chicago, Ill.; and London, England. This stereograph is a significant piece for collectors of antique stereoviews, biblical scenes, and Keystone View Company memorabilia, offering a unique 3D perspective on historical and religious themes.Verified Specifications:
