[Pair of Stereograph Views of the Royal Exchange, London, England] 1850 - 1919

This stereograph, created by J. F. Jarvis between 1850 and 1919, depicts the Royal Exchange in London, England. The image captures the grandeur of the building's neoclassical architecture, showcasing its impressive columns and ornate facade. The stereoscopic format, which creates the illusion of depth when viewed through a stereoscope, immerses the viewer in the bustling city street scene, complete with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians. This artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the architectural and social landscape of 19th-century London.
