Group of stereoview photographs depicting occupational subjects and staged entertainment scenes. One hand-colored stereograph shows a musician playing a hurdy-gurdy or street instrument while a small bird sits nearby, likely representing a popular street performer or novelty entertainer.
Another stereograph depicts a group of men posed outdoors with tools and equipment beside a chest or trunk, possibly representing laborers or prospectors. A studio image shows a performer with a trained monkey seated on a small platform in a staged entertainment photograph.
The group also includes a street scene showing a vendor or street performer standing beside a small wheeled cart. These stereographs illustrate the broad range of subjects produced for the popular stereoscopic market during the late nineteenth century.
