In the 19th century, stereo photographs were publicly available for mass consumption. They were a “passive” way for people to acquire knowledge and entertain in areas like science, travel, humour, fiction and even erotic.
Due to the demand, photographers explored all kind of topics, even taking pictures of what they personally thought represented some ethnic groups. They fuelled “stereotypes” along the way, helping establish and continue with those clichés.
