DESCRIPTION:In 1866 John Proctor & John O'Shaughnessy engaged Charles Walda
 ck\, a well-known Cincinnati photographer of cartes de visite and stereogr
 aphs\, to take pictures of Mammoth Cave. Forty-two stereoviews were publis
 hed by the New York Company of E & H. T. Anthony. In addition to the Antho
 ny views\, other views were published by Charles Waldack and Proctor & O'S
 haughnessy.\n\nFive of these images in the author's collection do not appe
 ar in the 42-view Anthony set. A third set of seven unpublished views\, fr
 om an unknown source\, have larger-size images showing more of Waldack's o
 riginal glass plates. All of the non-Anthony views have separate chips for
  each side stereoview. On the Anthony cards\, both sides of the image are 
 on a single photograph. The Anthony Cards were published until 1872 and sh
 ow a variety of styles over time.\n\nWaldack took two trips to Mammoth Cav
 e which he described in two letters sent to The Philadelphia Photographer 
 in July and December of 1866. Waldack never returned to the cave\, but too
 k many additional stereo views of Cincinnati and its suburbs.
