Norway

Collection of 53 glass stereoviews of a voyage and travels in Norway, c. 1897

53 diapositive glass stereoviews (each slide approx. 82 x 171mm.), many captioned on the mount, a few with the date 1897

FINE GLASS STEREOVIEWS OF NORWAY. The slides show images of boats and ships, fjords, animated harbour and street scenes, houses, and views in and around Bergen, Molde, Merok, Bondhus (the lake and glacier), and Sundal. Two of the slides are captioned Lowestoft in England, which combined with the contemporary hand written English captions on the slides suggest that these stereoviews were taken by a British traveller who voyaged to Norway in 1897.
