Summary

New Jersey stereoscopic card.
Robert Dennis's stereographs collection includes more than 72,000 stereoscopic views organized primarily by geography. The collection bears the name of the native New Yorker who assembled it over a period of more than six decades, Robert N. Dennis (1900-1983).
Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. Stereographs were produced from the 1850s to the 1940s, with the bulk between 1870 and 1920.

James Cremer was a known for his portrait photography, especially of children. He also photographed landscapes and townscapes, including images of Edinburgh and London. His photographs were frequently published in magazines and newspapers, including The Illustrated London News and The Photographic News. Cremer moved to London in the 1860s and continued his photographic career there. He was a member of the Royal Photographic Society and won prizes for his work. He also judged photographic competitions. Cremer died in London in 1893. His photographs are now in collections around the world, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.
