Please take a check out my other photographs on eBay. I like to combine shipping for multiple purchases, but please wait for an invoice.
Stereoview by Lancaster, Wisconsin photographer W.B.
Van De Wall. I’m pretty sure that what
this stereoview depicts is the possessions of citizens placed in a central park
(commons) as a precaution against fire.
When a fire raged thru town citizens would often take their valuables to
a place deemed safe from the fire, such as a park. So even if the house burned down, their
valuables were safe.
