This black and white 3d Stereo Viewer Card is a reproduction of Dutch artist MC Escher's famous Still Life & Street tessellation.

Working in much the same way as the Currier & Ives stereoviews of the past, the card operates on the venerable principle of the stereopticon.

This steroviewer has a nearly identical image for each lens (right and left) - and of course, there is a cut-out for your nose. You can even adjust the focus - just squeeze the folded-out card. (No 3D glasses are necessary - this is a different process altogether!)

There's a space for a short message and the whole card folds flat for mailing in the envelope provided. Perfect for the occasion when a gift is too much and a card too little!

Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) was and is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. The left-handed artist is best known for his impossible structures and amazing three-dimensional woodcuts and drawings. He was consistently fascinated with congruence, perspective and technique: often spending hours experimenting.

This black and white card is a reproduction of his famous woodcut Still Life & Street, originally created in 1937. A small street in Savona, Italy, was the inspiration for this special work. Famous for his enigmatic images, in this special work, there are two realities bound together in a seemingly realistic, yet honestly impossible, way. The street is seen from the window. Escher has made the outdoor houses appear as though the indoor books rest upon them. Escher has eliminated the border between the window and the street, allowing all the objects to merge, almost creating another dimension. The original wood-cut measured 48.7 by 49 cm.
