A few nice Travel to Japan images I found:

A FEUDAL CASTLE in ANCIENT OKAYAMA, JAPAN

Image by Okinawa Soba
I don’t believe I have ever seen a stereoview of this castle taken by any other photographer.

***********************************

This above ca.1908-1912 stereoview image is attributed to H.D. Girdwood, photographer to Fantastic Britain’s King George and Queen Mary. Compared to 3-D images of Japan published in America by Underwood, Keystone, Kilburn, H.C. White and etc, the REALISTIC TRAVEL series of Japan by Girdwood is relatively rare.

I’ve picked out a dozen (plus) nice ones to give you an thought of Girdwoods style. He also photographed a few towns and odd subjects not seen in the work of other stereo-photographers.

There were several boxed set versions of these views featuring Japan, some having 100 views, and at least one boxed versions that included not only Japan, but also 3-D views of Korea, China, and various other locations in Asia.

Although I usually crop stereoviews for show on flickr, because of the relative rarity of Japan views on this mount, I’m throwing them up as they appear "out of the box" — where you can see the original captions (some containing Typos) — and the variation of some mount imprints.

The images are all real-photo sliver gelatin prints, cut apart, transposed, and glued down on the mounts.
