This antique stereoview card titled "The Oregon Boys wading the Norzagaray River, P.I." captures a historic scene of soldiers crossing a river, likely during a military expedition or campaign. The image is a black and white stereograph printed on a cardboard mount, typical of early 20th-century stereoviews. It was photographed and published by B. W. Kilburn, a noted stereographer based in Littleton, New Hampshire, and copyrighted in 1900. The card measures approximately 7 inches wide as shown against the ruler.
The stereoview features soldiers equipped with rifles, wading through shallow waters with a wooded landscape in the background. This view offers a compelling glimpse into historical military life and geographic exploration during the period, making it valuable for collectors interested in military history, vintage photography, and stereoview ephemera. The back of the card confirms B. W. Kilburn as both photographer and publisher, further affirming its authenticity and origin. This original stereoview is a fine example of early American stereographic work and provides a three-dimensional perspective on a significant scene from the early 1900s.
