Program Details



This is the first mention of music as part of the Stereoscopticon Exhibit. When you get to April 22, 1864, the ads for this exhibit cease to mention “song.” Perhaps the music was temporary.

“Twenty-third week of the mammoth stereoscopticon.  This popular exhibition is still a brilliant success, affording to all classes a happy relaxation from the ordinary cares of routine life.  It is a fairy realm of travel, history, literature, and song, revealing to the delighted visitor the most enchanting scenery and the most exquisite statutory and architecture of the ancient and modern day in all lands as beheld in the reality.”
