Description

The collection comprises a set of seven stereocards showing interior views of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Osborne House, and an external view of the Palace of Westminster. When viewed on a light source, the interior images appear coloured, due to a second paper layer mounted behind the print which has been hand coloured. The images have also had pin pricks added to give the illusion of light. The images were taken for a French stereocard publisher, but the identity of the photographer is unknown. Printed captions beneath the images are in French.
