Views Around Stoughton in 1874
Before 3D television and movies, the way Stoughton residents got this effect was via stereoscopic cards. Take a look of the views of Stoughton in 1874, and see if you recognize some of the spots today.
Recently I purchased a small collection of Stereoscopic images of Stoughton. These were taken around 1874 and were produced by a photographer named O.E. Bradford of Randolph, Mass.
These views were used with at stereopticon viewer to produce a three dimensional view to the eyes.
