When Animals Attack? Opens January 22

Posted: Jan 24 2010

 

When Animals Attack? Humorous Hunting Tableaux
Images in Osborn Studio from the Museum’s Donald C. & Elizabeth M. Dickinson Research Center
Before there was television, Americans spent their leisure time viewing stereographs, photographs printed side-by-side on card stock to produce three-dimensional images when viewed through a stereoscope. This exhibition features a collection of stereographs depicting humorous and exaggerated hunting scenes that showcase the photographer’s inventiveness and creativity. Most of the big game images were published between 1880 and 1910, and include deer, elk, moose, mountain sheep, bear and buffalo.
 
The exhibit continues through July 11, 2010. It can be enjoyed online.
