Stereoview Series
The earliest commercial photographs of Japan appeared in stereographic
form when photographic and scientific instruments manufacturer, Negretti
and Zambra of London, started publishing Pierre Rossier's work in April
1860. Other early stereographic series appeared throughout the 1860s,
and most of them have now been identified and studied. One early set of
Japan views, however, has remained a mystery until now.
