Underwood & Underwood / Littleton View Co. - Stereoscopic Cards


1900's
Stereoscopic Cards - William Foulkes (Sheffield United)
Littleton View Co., Littleton, NH
Underwood & Underwood, New York, London, Toronto, Ottawa
±40,000 cards (1? football)

There are an estimated 30,000-40,000 different stereoscopic cards produced by Underwood & Underwood. They were a Canadian company that expanded their business to New York and London by the end of the 19th Century. At the moment I am only aware of one football card but there are probably others to be found. I'll be doing more research in the coming days.
UPDATE (02-01-2024 13:41):  Gerard Scully has provided scans of two stereoscopic cards featuring Liverpool.
UPDATE (05-05-2025 13:16):  Gerard Scully added another stereoscopic card to his collection. According to Gerard, Based on the location and the opponents it would seem to date the photograph to Thursday, March 30th, 1899 when Liverpool lost 1-0 to Sheffield United in the F.A. Cup Semi Final 2nd Replay held at the Baseball Ground, Derby.
