"For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" is a stereoscopic image created by Keystone View Co. in 1899. The image depicts two young girls, one asleep, the other seemingly awake, holding a small doll. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with a draped cloth in the background, creating a sense of intimacy and mystery. This image is part of a larger collection of stereoscopic views, a popular form of entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for its three-dimensional effect. The subject matter suggests a religious theme, referencing a passage from the Bible about the importance of children in the eyes of God. The image has been preserved at The Art Institute of Chicago, providing a glimpse into the history of photography and the evolution of visual storytelling.
