Published by the Keystone View Company, number 30059T; part of the rarer World Tour Series of stereoview cards published by Keystone through the 1920s and 1930s. The curved cardboard stereoview card has two black and white photographs of a child posing with the castle in the background. The castle was the refuge of King Frederick the Great of Germany from the cares of state. The back of the card has a brief history of the castle. Great condition and the perfect addition to any collection! Antique souvenir with a beautiful scene and interesting history! 

A stereoview is a cardboard card, often times curved, that has two nearly identical photographs side by side, which can be placed in a stereoscope viewer to make a 3D-like rendering of the image. They were most popular in the late Victorian era, from the 1870s to the 1920s. Each photograph is taken from the angle of each eye, creating an illusion of a single three-dimensional image when paired together in a stereoscope. Common stereoviews include famous buildings, monuments, and other travel destinations that would often be purchased by travelers as souvenirs.
