Edward Anthony opened his stereoscopic emporium in May of 1860 at 501 Broadway. As the prominent lettering on the building’s façade boasted, the “American & Foreign Stereoscopic Emporium and Depot of Photographic Materials” offered a selection of parlor items as well: photography albums, cabinet and card pictures, and chromos alongside stereoscopic views.
