Lot of 3 hand-tinted genre stereoviews, c. 1860s — ladies' parlor pastimes, on the original yellow mounts, unmarked as issued.
— The shawl — two ladies in a grand interior, one wearing a vivid red-and-green patterned shawl; candelabra and framed pictures behind — a fashion plate in stereo
— The patterned gowns — two ladies at ease in a carpeted parlor, one in a blue-striped floral gown, the other in polka dots
— Tea and letters — ladies at leisure with the tea things, the softest tinting of the three
Hand-applied color throughout — the deluxe parlor entertainment of the 1860s.
Condition: the shawl and patterned-gown cards retain the stronger color; the tea scene is lighter, with the soft fading typical of the issue; one reverse with a small surface scuff (see photos); mounts with light soil and edge wear. Backs plain, as issued.
Guaranteed authentic 1860s originals — not reproductions.
