Here the camera stays with the bride's preparations rather than the ceremony itself, a quieter moment that the title, *Dressing the bride*, makes plain. The card was issued by the Sterro-Photo Co. of Dolgeville, New York, around 1907, and carries a copyright entry in the name of C.A. Richmond, numbered 1051 in the publisher's series. Stereographs like this were sold in large numbers for home viewing, where two nearly identical photographs merged into a single three-dimensional scene. Seen that way, a domestic moment like this one gained a surprising immediacy.
