This listing features an Antique 1930s Keystone Stereoview showing the New Metro or Subway Station in the Sokolniki Region of Moscow, USSR. Published by the Keystone View Company, number 34093. The curved cardboard stereoview card has two black and white photographs of the newly built Moscow subway station, which Soviet leaders marketed as the peak of socialist ingenuity during the period of the USSR. The back of the card has a brief history of the station and its creation. 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.
