The Salt Lake Tribune will occasionally present images from its archives in a special series called A Look Back.
This collection shows stereoscopic images of Eureka, Utah, in the early 1900s. A stereoscope creates a 3D image by placing a two-image card in a holder that the user looks through. One image is off-set from the other, and when viewed through the stereoscope, the user sees the differing images as a single three-dimensional one.
