Please note that most of these Stereoviews were printed about 95 or more years ago from the original negatives that were often 5-20 years old at that time. Because of these primitive printing methods there may be at least slight differences from one print to another including, but not limited to, brightness, framing, toning, & even some of the printed information on the mount (such as the exact wording, abbreviations, spacing, etc.). Because of this, the view that you receive may be slightly different than the stock photo show as an example of this particular view from this particular set. All views will be original antique views from the stated set with the negative number & card position number in that set as stated & will be in at least the minimum condition as stated in the listing. Views from this particular set are usually at least somewhat brown toned more often than other sets & are usually in overall lower condition than sets used in homes as these were made for use in schools

Listing details(podt ai 20260203)

This is a Stereo card of workers cutting tobacco in Havana, Cuba. It is from the Keystone “Visual Education” 600 card “Tour of the World” set from the late 1910's and shows great details. This set was used in schools to teach children about the world. As with most Keystone sets, some of the images were taken years before the issue date of this set. Unlike most Keystone “Tour of the World” sets, this set has a very heavy emphasis on manufacturing around the world and includes factories, transportation, farming, mining, etc. Most cards in this set are in very good to excellent condition with typical wear to the edges. Any damage to this particular card will be listed below. This card is titled "Cutting Tobacco in the shade of Banana Trees, Province of Havana, Cuba." and is numbered 297 with a Keystone negative number of 10236. This card is in very good to excellent condition and measures 3 1/2" by 7”. The back of the card is printed with information about the subject. I will be listing more Stereoviews on a regular basis, so check back for more views. Don’t miss out! Stereoviews or Stereo Cards have two nearly identical images mounted side by side. When looked at through a stereo viewer they give a three-dimensional image. Most popular from 1854 to 1938, they were produced in vast quantities, and many are of historical interest. They usually measure about 3 ½” by 7”.
