Kangaroos at the Zoological Garden in Adelaide, South Australia, set this stereograph apart from the other animal views in the Keystone View Company's catalog. Keystone, based in Meadville, Pennsylvania, sold cards like this one, numbered 15902 and dated around 1908, to American households that viewed them through a stereoscope. The paired images create a sense of depth, letting viewers see the animals' upright posture and the enclosure around them as if they were standing there. Cards like this brought distant wildlife into parlors at a time when few Americans would ever see a kangaroo in person.
