Boxes 13 - 24 Stereo-Clinic

     A collection of approximately 2,000 stereographic photos taken for Howard Kelly's, Stereo-Clinic, the purpose of which was to disseminate knowledge about surgery through subscription to  these photographic series.   

     Stereographs are taken with a special camera which has dual lenses.  The result is two nearly identical images of the same scene, taken at slightly different angles, which are mounted side by side on a card and viewed through a
stereoscope to produce a three-dimensional image.

     Stereographs in this collection are of surgery by Kelly and by others, mostly of gynecological surgery, but also including some examples of general surgery.  For each operation, a series of anywhere from two or three to thirty or so stereographs have been taken of the various surgical procedures involved in the operation. 

     A very few of the images are of staff members.

The stereographs in this collection are only partially
identified.  Most are identified only by numbers (comprising at least two different series) which appear to indicate particular operations.  They have been put in order by these numbers.
