Stereoscopic photograph of a large gathering in 1890 at “Nabnassett Pond,” also known as Nabanassett Lake. The location was not far from one of the town’s B&M Railroad stations at the time. Stereoscopy or stereo imaging was a common technique to create a 3D image. Similar technology still exists today, with related technologies found at movie theaters playing 3D films requiring the use of 3D glasses. Methods also exist today that do not even require a special headset, such as laser holography and lenticular lenses. Our photo utilizes the traditional method of two lightly different angled images to be view with a spacial headset, essentially tricking the brain into creating the illusion of depth.
