    I have real admiration for these double images on the single cards that were made by studios for use with stereoscopes, which were the device that folks used for viewing photographic images with a simulated 3-D effects. That simulation of Third Dimensionality, was created by means of applying slight differences in angles, differring lighting gradiants, slight shifts in the perspectives in the photographic images that were reproduced by the thousands in the later years of the 19th C. Spending an evening Hour or so gazing at the simulated 3- D images was an inexpensive alternative to the Nickelodeon and Public exhibits of early motion pictures, that had not yet been dubbed "Miovies".

    This is the Tooth Temple in Kandy, isn't it? probably the back side of the inner building that is said to contain the tooth.
