1886-Underwood & Underwood

This is a high resolution digital reproduction of the DEALER’s Catalogue of Underwood &
Underwood’s Unequaled Stereoscopic Views of the World
, published in 1886 by Knight,
Leonard & Co., Printers, of Chicago, IL.  A message to the company’s agents reads, “TO
OUR AGENTS…We make this Catalogue briefly descriptive, interspersing several pages of
illustrations, in order that you may better understand the interesting points in each view,
and be prepared to present, especially the new subjects, to greater advantage.  The
subjects on this list have been very carefully chosen from a collection of over 12,000
negatives, of which we have the sole management, and now lay claim to have in this
Catalogue the finest stereoscopic views, both in quality and variety, that can be obtained.  
Our views are printed from none but original negatives, and only the best materials and
the most approved methods of manufacturing are used.  The names of
Jarvis, Bierstadt,
Strohmeyer and Bellows
are sufficient guarantee of the high grade of photography.”  There
are 173 printed pages in this catalogue
.  Each listing is printed in English, Spanish and
German as the stereoscopic views of Underwood & Underwood were sold all over the
world.
