STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPH (the actual publisher's name on the mount) is admittedly too generic a name for a line of….well, Stereoscopic Photographs. But, from a Japanese perspective, it was exotic English, and used for a proprietary line of over 1,600 stereoview titles published sometime during the years 1905-12.
Connected with KINKODO publishers of Yokohama, the series seems to be the work of many contributing photographers --- including what appear to be some variant views from T. ENAMI --- who all had their work processed and mounted by one studio.
