Zahner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique stereoview card features a historic scene titled \"A thousand boys in blue on S.S. Rio de Janerio bound for Manila,\" captured by photographer M.H. Zahner. The image shows a densely packed steamship filled with soldiers or sailors, all in uniform, aboard the S.S. Rio de Janerio. The ship is docked alongside a pier, and the photo captures the intricate rigging, smokestack, and American flags flying from the vessel. The card is copyrighted 1898 by M.H. Zahner, a known stereoview publisher. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe card mount is made of cardboard and has a sepia tone typical of the late 19th century. Publisher information printed on the card includes \"Sold only by Erichs \u0026amp; Griffiths, Philadelphia, Chicago, London, Hamburg, Milan, Italy,\" indicating the card was distributed internationally. The right edge bears the name \"M.H. Zahner, Publisher, Waynes Falls, N.Y.\" The stereoview is in the classic rectangular format with rounded corners, designed for use with a stereoscope viewer to provide a 3D viewing experience. This piece is a fine example of Victorian-era stereographs focusing on military or naval subjects from the Spanish-American War period.\u003cbr\u003e_______\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease view pictures.
