A stereograph card of Baltimore Harbor, dated around 1870, offers a three-dimensional view of the working waterfront at a time when the port was one of the busiest on the Atlantic coast. Stereo views like this one were made to be viewed through a special lens, and the paired images gave viewers a sense of depth in docks, ships and streets. The card is credited to Bell & Bro., a studio associated with stereographic work, though the caption's details are unverified, so the exact vantage point and date should be treated with some caution.
