A stereoscopic #ThrowbackThursday!
This week’s highlight is a black and white stereoscopic photograph of the interior of possibly a Catholic church and altar in Greeley Centre, Nebraska. Pillars holding up the arches stand between the wooden pews. The altar is very ornate with religious statues. There is information printed on the edges of the photo: John Nelson, Commercial Photographer, Ericson, Neb. U.S.A. It was taken around 1907-1917.
This image is owned and published by the Nebraska State Historical Society. They digitized content from the John Nelson and the J. A. Anderson collection. John Nelson came to Nebraska with his parents at the age of seventeen from Sweden. His photographs tell the story of small town life in Nebraska during the first decades of the twentieth century.
