The East Room is the largest room in the White House and the one most often used for state occasions, so a stereograph of its interior taken around 1910 or 1911 offers a close look at how it was furnished before the major renovations of the 1950s. Stereo cards like this one were made to be viewed through a special hand viewer, which gave the room a sense of depth that a flat photograph could not. The card's caption notes that it shows the East Room, though the catalog record itself is based on old, unverified information, so the exact date is worth treating with some caution. Look closely at the chandeliers, the wall decorations, and the furniture arranged for display, which reflect the taste of the Edwardian era.
