Hi Carol 

It reminds me of one of those photos that you put into a viewer to get 3D effect

Hi Judy
It does doesn't it...I think they were called Magic Lantern slides but not sure...this was found in a bureau that was a family piece and inherited by my neighbour....it lay undiscovered for years
I think it is two images.

I tried to get the image a bit sharper for you







eeeeeps I didnt intend to post it THAT big ,and when I tried to make it smaller lol it posted both images the same size.
 
I am SUCH a noob,

Thanks Tabbitha that's very helpful and kind of you to take the trouble ...I have put it on in it's raw state for photo type identification.

I think it is 2 different images.

If I cut the right hand section and overlay it in the left I can line up the static parts of the image exactly (ie the foreground does not move relative to the background as you get with a stereo image)

I can't demonstrate that here.

These are some slight difference in the people however.

Possibly taken as two seperate photos to gve the stereo effect with a slight change of position of the 'sitters' between the two shots.

Thanks for your input Rog and Lookinforold...I can see what you mean now that Tabbitha has lightened it....can anyone else see yhe photographer reflected in the window

Stereograph?

Yes, I can see the photographer reflected in the window! Or maybe Marley's ghost...a very mid-Victorian looking group with top hat and all When was this kind of photo invented? Because there's not too much that's dateable in the clothing I think...I'll have another look later...

Cheers,
