EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of six early stereograph views of Birmingham, England, taken between the 1860s and 1880s. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to these remarkable images. Captured using albumen silver prints, this black and white series offers a glimpse into the bustling city during the Victorian era. The photographs depict various aspects of Birmingham's rich heritage and industrial prowess. From cast iron bridges to panoramic street views, each image tells its own story. The intricate engineering marvels are highlighted in stunning detail, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship that went into their construction. Amidst the urban landscape captured on these stereoscopic cards are men going about their daily occupations. A station master stands proudly on a platform at New Street Station while other individuals can be seen engaged in different professions throughout the city streets. As we delve into this visual time capsule preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to a bygone era where metal structures dominated the skyline and Victorian society thrived amidst progress and innovation.
