Collection of thirty-one original stereoviews on gray boards with black-and-white stereographic photographs. Includes scenes of the fairgrounds and buildings featured in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, both held in 1915. The actual board count is twenty-one (all Panama-Pacific International Expo stereocards are double-sided with two stereoviews on one board; all Panama-California Expo stereocards are single-sided). Each board measures 7" x 3 1/2." Stereocards are very clean and intact overall except for slight corner and edge wear and slight surface wear to the photos. A Very Good collection.
