London: Fortescue Mann, 1896. There is some debate over whether the London views by Fortescue Mann were taken by John Fortescue Mann (1848-1897) or by his son Reginald Fortescue Mann (1881-1916). David Simkin (Sussex Photo History) attributes them to the father while Douglas Heil (The Art of Stereography) attributes them to the son. Both acknowledge that the latter would have been quite a prodigy to have created these fine images at the age of 15 in 1896. From the collection of Robert N. Dennis. Provenance: from the collection of Robert N. Dennis, who was one of the most important stereoview collectors in the U. S. The New York Public Library's "Robert N. Dennis Collection" includes more than 70,000 stereoviews from his collection, many of which can be viewed on the library's website. Please note that my scanner does not do well with glass stereoviews. All of the glass views I have listed for this fair have superb images, especially when observed through a stereoscope..
