In the Notch, White Mountains, N.H.
Summary
New Hampshire stereoscopic card.
Robert Dennis's stereographs collection includes more than 72,000 stereoscopic views organized primarily by geography. The collection bears the name of the native New Yorker who assembled it over a period of more than six decades, Robert N. Dennis (1900-1983).
Stereographs consist of two nearly identical photographs or photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. Stereographs were produced from the 1850s to the 1940s, with the bulk between 1870 and 1920.
Nathan W. Pease was a prominent American photographer who worked in North Conway, New Hampshire, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in 1836 in Fryeburg, Maine, and began his career as a photographer in the early 1860s. Pease was known for his landscape and portrait photography, and his images of the White Mountains of New Hampshire were particularly popular. He had a studio in North Conway for many years and his work was widely exhibited and published. Pease was also active in the community, serving as a selectman and a member of the local school board. He died in 1918 at the age of 82, leaving a legacy of beautiful and iconic images of the New England landscape.
