This lot includes 20 antique stereoview cards published by Underwood & Underwood, copyrighted in 1904. Each stereoview features black and white images capturing various iconic and cultural scenes from Japan and surrounding regions. Subjects include temples, castles, pagodas, traditional fishing nets, lotus flowers, historic gates, and daily life scenes such as fishing and street views in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagasaki, Manchuria, Korea, and Miyajima.

Each card is mounted on gray cardboard with the publisher's logo, "Underwood & Underwood, Publishers, New York, London, Toronto-Canada," and "Works and Studios, Arlington, N.J. and Littleton, N.H." prominently printed on the sides. The images are numbered and titled with detailed descriptions, for example, "Looking from Tennoji Pagoda west over one of the Mikado's biggest commercial cities, Osaka, Japan," and "A picturesque 'toiler of the sea' with his curious fishing net, bay of Matsushima, Japan." The cards offer a rich glimpse into early 20th-century Japanese architecture, culture, and landscapes, ideal for collectors of vintage stereographs, Victorian-era views, and Orientalist photography.

This collection is an excellent example of Underwood & Underwood's photographic work documenting Japan in the early 1900s. Each stereoview card measures approximately the standard size for early 20th-century stereographs and is designed to be viewed with a stereoscope to enjoy the 3D effect. The lot provides a fascinating historical and artistic overview of Japan's cultural heritage, temples, and everyday life during that era.
