Historic Puerto Rico — 3 Reel Set

Old San Juan, preserved in stereo

The Historic Puerto Rico set walks the viewer through fortress walls, colonial streets and Caribbean coastline in 21 three-dimensional views. Stone architecture is a stereo photographer’s dream, and El Morro’s ramparts deliver.

Cards like this are period documents as much as souvenirs — the island as the reel photographers found it, decades ago. For families with Puerto Rican roots, it tends to be less a toy purchase and more a small heirloom.
