Keystone Stereoview French Canal Company Homes, Panama from Education Set #249

Description

This is a Stereo card of
dwellings built for the workers of the old French Canal Company in Panama when they were trying to build a canal across the isthmus of Panama starting in 1881
. It is from the
Keystone “Visual Education” 600 card “Tour of the World” set
from the
late 1910's
and shows great details. This set was used in schools to teach children about the world. As with most Keystone sets, some of the images were taken years before the issue date of this set. Unlike most Keystone “Tour of the World” sets, this set has a very heavy emphasis on manufacturing around the world and includes factories, transportation, farming, mining, etc. Most cards in this set are in very good to excellent condition with typical wear to the edges. Any damage to this particular card will be listed below. This card is titled "Dwellings Erected for Employees of Old French Canal Company, Colon, Isthmus of Panama." and is numbered 249 with a Keystone negative number of 13320. This card is in very good to excellent condition and measures 3 1/2" by 7”. The back of the card is printed with information about the subject. I will be listing more Stereoviews on a regular basis, so check back for more views. Don’t miss out!
Stereoviews or Stereo Cards have two nearly identical images mounted side by side. When looked at through a stereo viewer they give a three-dimensional image. Most popular from 1854 to 1938, they were produced in vast quantities, and many are of historical interest. They usually measure about 3 ½” by 7”.
