One of the reasons we collect football photographs is because it gives you a historical perspective and allows you to see and feel the people and the sport. Stereoviews go one step further, allowing the viewer to go back in time and visualize the subject in three dimensions. I am posting this view, as it is not well known and gives a different perspective from Hamilton Park, Yale's 19th century sports venue. This view (1870s) is taken with the photographer's back to the Whalley Avenue entrance to Hamilton Park. You can see the wooden fence surrounding the park at the far left of the card. There is currently a version of this card on ebay, should you have interest.
