Children at feeding time are the subject of this stereograph card, where two nearly identical photographs combine in a stereoscope to create a single image with depth. Dated to about 1897, it was copyrighted by B.L. Singley and issued under the Keystone View Company's number 4200. The catalog tracings "Children" and "Farms" show how publishers marketed views like this as glimpses of rural daily life for viewers in towns and cities who rarely saw a working farm.
