The pictures show a view of all (8) Old Stereoscopic or Stereoview Photograph Cards in this lot. All but one of these were made by the same maker. The first two are from 1888 and the others are believed to be around the same time period or shortly after. All but one of these are marked on the back as follows: Photographed and Published by B. W. Kilburn (on the first two) Kilburn Brothers (on the others) Littleton, N.H. The first stereoview card has an image with much going on. There is a bridge that may be the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. There are four locomotive train engines on a pier with buildings. In the water there are steamboats, a ferry and more. It has print on the side and a title section.

The second stereoview card has an image with decorated horse drawn wagons. The closest one has a man dressed in white and a top hat driving the wagon. Behind him is a flag. In the back there are women dressed in white. Far in the background there appears to be a church with a steeple. It has print on the side and a title section.
