Stereoview portrait of an unidentified photographer with a camera on a tripod taking a photo along Rock Creek in Washington, D.C., c. 1860. Attributed to Titian Ramsay Peale. The photographer in the photo might actually be Peale himself. The man sitting on the right is also unidentified.
Probable self-portrait of photographer O. M. Perrigo posing with his horse-drawn photography wagon with darkroom attached to the back. The subject appears to be holding a string which would have been attached to the camera lens cover, allowing him to take a self-portrait. Perrigo seems to have taken this stereoview photograph (cropped and edited for clarity) after taking more than two dozen stereoviews of buildings, machinery and employees at the Excelsior Straw Works in Medfield, Massachusetts, sometime during the late 1860s.
