Antique Lawrence & Houseworth stereoview with a California header titled "1104. Cathedral Rock, 3,000 feet high, Yosemite Valley, Mariposa County." with an 1866 date. Nice stereo effect view of the iconic rock formation in Yosemite, taken long before tourists ever got there. The stereoview was published by the partnership of George S. Lawrence and Thomas Houseworth which ended in 1868 so this stereoview was likely printed before or circa 1868.On the front, "California." is on the left edge; under the right picture, the caption reads '1104. Cathedral Rock, 3,000 feet high, Yosemite Valley, Mariposa County" and on the right edge, the legal note states "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1866, by LAWRENCE & HOUSEWORTH, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Northern District of California". On the back is the publishers label which reads "Stereoscopic and Album Views | CALIFORNIA SCENERY, photographed and published | LAWRENCE & HOUSEWORTH, Opticians, 317 & 319 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. Complete Catalogues sent to any part of the world Free of Postage".The stereoview is in good condition with few stains or age spots on the front and back of the card with a bent lower left corner, a few nicks & handling wear on the cardboard. See photos for condition of the stereoview card.Family
