Keystone Stereoview Meteor in Orion, Yerkes Observatory 1910s Education Set #599

Description: This is a Stereo card of a meteor in the constellation of Orion as photographed from the Yerkes Observatory operated by the University of Chicago Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics from its founding in 1897 to 2020. It is from the Keystone “Visual Education” 600 card “Tour of the World” set from the late 1910's and shows great details. This set was used in schools to teach children about the world. Unlike most Keystone “Tour of the World” sets, this set has a very heavy emphasis on manufacturing around the world and includes factories, transportation, farming, mining, etc. Most cards in this set are in very good to excellent condition with typical wear to the edges. This card is titled "Meteor in Constellation of Orion. Copyright by Yerkes Observatory." and is numbered 599 with a Keystone negative number of 16647. This card is in excellent condition and measures 3 1/2" by 7”. The back of the card is printed with information about the subject. I will be listing more Stereoviews on a regular basis, so check back for more views. Don’t miss out! Stereoviews or Stereo Cards have two nearly identical images mounted side by side. When looked at through a stereo viewer they give a three-dimensional image. Most popular from 1854 to 1938, they were produced in vast quantities, and many are of historical interest. They usually measure about 3 ½” by 7”.
