{THs STEREOSCOPIC VIEW WAS MADE WITH THE MODEL XVIII CONLEY STEREOSCOPIC CAMERA.

STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY is intensely interesting, as no picture is more fascinating than a stereoscopic
photograph, but many photographers have a mistaken iden that stereoscopic pictures are diffcult to make. ‘As an actual
voter of fact they are just as easy to make as any other photograph, provided one is equipped with the proper apparatus.
"Augone who can operate a camera of any kind can operate a stereosopic camera and can make high clase sereosopic
pictures.

STEREOSCOPIC VIEWS ARE MADE with ‘a double camera, a special camera fitted with two lenses which
make two simultaneous exposures of the same subject side by side on the same plate, These two pictures differ slightly
from each other because the two lenses with which they are made ‘are about 314 inches apart and, therefore, the picture
which one lens makes is from a slightly different viewpoint than the picture made by the other lens. ‘One lens takes a little
