Stereoview - J. Almstaedt, Photographer, Tompkinsville, S.I., circa 1875
This stereoview, part of the "Staten Island Gems" series by J. Almstaedt, Photographer, depicts the steamboat "Thomas Collyer" on the water, with what appears to be a lighthouse or buoy in the distance. The front of the card is captioned "Thomas Collyer". The reverse side features ornate Victorian-style lettering for "Staten Island Gems" and identifies J. Almstaedt as the photographer, located in Tompkinsville, S.I., noting that "Duplicates can always be had." The card itself has an orange border, typical of stereoviews from the period, designed to be viewed with a stereoscope to create a three-dimensional effect.
