Up for sale is an original, authentic antique Victorian stereoview card (stereograph) backing displaying the official, crisp publication imprint for the legendary pioneering 19th-century American photographer B. W. Kilburn.
The reverse side of this heavy, curved tan cardboard stock features the clean, original black letterpress typography reading: \"Photographed and Published by B. W. KILBURN, - Littleton, N. H.\" This classic hallmark confirms its production at Kilburn\'s famous manufacturing facility in the White Mountains of Littleton, New Hampshire. The card face features the 1886 child and St. Bernard dog narrative scene \"Telling her Love.\" The reverse side remains beautifully unwritten, free of any modern marker defacement or heavy stains, preserving the authentic fiber texture of the 140-year-old card stock.
