Details and History
The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the 1860-1863 stereograph, possibly by Edwin Emerson, depicting Troy N.Y., C.F.H. (Charles F. Himes) and Prof. O.N. Rood, Warren's house in background, looking n.
Both were members of the Amateur Photographic Exchange club, which functioned from 1860-1863 when its secretary was called to war. Many of the earliest surviving stereographs in the LOC collection were generated via this exchange. As noted in a brief history (Image 1952, vol1, issue2, page4) one of their correspondents was Oliver Wendell Holmes. He invented the Holmes stereoscope and gave the design away. The instrument proved so popular it drove most rivals out of the market.
