STEREOSCOPIC GALLERY.
The Stereoscopic establishment, which has been for some time in opera- tion in Oxford Street, has this week opened a City gallery, at 1\o. 54 Cheapside ; and a private view was held yesterday preparatory to the commencement of business. The premises, which are intended to in- clude a photographic establishment also, are spacious, well-looking, and as efficiently lighted as City exigencies can easily allow. Inside, the visitor finds scores of stereoscopes, and hundreds of stereoscopic photo- graphs,—French and English, glass and paper, views, buildings, por- traits, groups, or still-life, as he may prefer. A stereoscopic speculation ought to be a safe one, as the art ministers at once to wonder and de- light, gives the reality of nature with unrivalled illusion, and, after gra- tifying the artistic taste, retains the amusement of a conjuring trick.
