Stereograph cards like this one were made to be seen through a hand viewer, where two slightly offset photographs merged into a single three-dimensional scene. This card shows 16th Street in Denver in 1875, and its catalog tags point to taxidermy and souvenirs, which suggests a storefront trade catering to visitors and collectors. Denver had grown quickly after the gold strikes of the late 1850s and the arrival of railroads in the early 1870s, and its main commercial streets were filling with shops, offices and new buildings. Stereo views of this kind were sold widely to travelers, so the card also records how a western city presented itself to the outside world.
