View of Chestnut Street in Philadelphia

Close-up.

"North side of Chestnut Street, between Second Street and Third Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." Comparison of two views of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, c. 1842. Three men are visible in one of the photographs and various objects on the sidewalk have moved slightly. The position of the shadows at the bottom left of the photographs might show that a measurable amount of time had passed between the taking of each view which were presumably taken on the same day. By William G. Mason.

"View along a street in Saltillo, Mexico." (This caption was probably made by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art)

Two views of American soldiers posing in a street in Saltillo during the Mexican-American War, c. 1847. They seem to have been taken from slightly different angles that allows them to be viewed in a slightly stereoscopic way. I have never seen these photographs connected in this way before online. By an unknown photographer.

French Soldiers Awaiting a German Assault?

French soldiers in trenches near Compiègne said to be awaiting a German attack but probably taken during training. The lack of any ground torn up by shell holes and the exposed position of the cameraman are good indications that this was taken during training. The closest that stereoscopic cameras seemed to have really come to photographing combat in World War I was capturing artillery shells exploding. Animated stereoview.
