Ruins of Fort Sumter Shown in Three Stereo Photo Cards

c. 1880, Lot of 3 Stereo Cards Showing the Ruins of Fort Sumter, Choice Very Fine.
These three stereo cards, measuring 3.25" x 6.75," are likely from the same set, as the photos are similar and all are mounted on mustard colored cards, with no printed inscriptions or manufacturer's name. All three have been inscribed by hand identifying the scene. The first reads, "Showing casements from which the first shots were fired by Gen. Anderson twoards Morris Island." The second card reads, "Under the lighthouse showing the only remaining casement - upper tier." The third card shows a defensive work constructed from logs, reading, "Fort Sumpter [sic] looking seaward - Palmento Defences." These cards and their photos are in excellent condition, the photos being sharp and clear, with great detail, and the cards being only slightly curled. A great view of this famous Civil War Site.
