Postcards go stereo:

"Our Lady of the Snows" — A strictly Canadian Character, 1909, by the Keystone View Company

In the late nineteenth century, stereographs were very popular. The stereographic camera had two lenses separated by the space between human eyes. The double images, seen through a stereoscopic viewer, give a three-dimensional effect.
