Morning glories trail across this stereograph, a card made to be viewed through a stereoscope so that two slightly offset pictures merge into one image with depth. Stereographs were a popular parlor entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the printed caption on the mount would have guided the viewer's attention, often blending a little instruction with a little sentiment. Nature subjects like these flowers were especially common, since they offered a calm, wholesome image that suited the home. Look closely at the layered leaves and the open blooms, which the stereo effect makes seem to stand out from the card.
