B'lieve I've seen that face b'fore" leads with a joke in deliberately rough dialect, and the caption tags for eating, drinking, vice and humor show the card was meant to amuse rather than inform. Stereographs like this one were viewed in pairs through a stereo viewer, which made a flat photograph look like a single three-dimensional scene. The card was copyrighted by T.W. Ingersoll of St. Paul and numbered 374, though the date and subject tags come from an old caption card and have not been verified.
