| Annie Downs Clark is in the center - just left of doorway. The sign on the building announcing “Beautiful Stereopticon Views” does not refer to stereograph or stereoscopic views, viewed through a viewer held in one’s hand. "Beautiful Stereopticon Views" - "The word "stereopticon" is frequently confused with "stereograph" and "stereoscope," but has nothing to do with either. The "Stereopticon" was a single lensed device to project lantern slides - transparent pictures on glass used for public lectures - we know it as a "slide show" in the Kodachrome era. The powerful light to project the image was generated by the same type of gas as miners used for their lamps. The event being advertised was an educational event probably showing slides of exotic places that most people from Southwest Harbor would never see except in pictures." - Weston J. Naef - August 2008. | Description: Annie Downs Clark is in the center - just left of doorway.
