Stereograph: The monitor-class ironclad U.S.S. Canonicus, taking on coal in the James River, 1864
- Description
- Many early stereoviews were pictures from around the world intended for armchair travelers. Informative and entertaining, they took on a more serious and somber tone during and immediately after the Civil War when curiosity about the conflict remained intense. Photographers produced images in series, often with explanatory text.
