Printed in black on verso, OA: Globe Diagram B. \ This diagram will be found useful when \ canvassing. Show it in the hand first, ex- \ plaining that these curved and straigth lines \ have a perfectly flat appearance, with no \ depth whatever to the eyes. \ Now place the diagram in the stereoscope \ and immediately the globe stands out full size \ in front of the straight diagonal lines. Now \ there is actual depth for the eyes as though \ you are looking at a wire globe suspended \ before a screen. This demonstrates without \ doubt that properly made stereographs when \ seen in the stereoscope become actual spaces \ to the mind. Other kinds of illustrations give \ only an appearance of depth. \ Now taking a stereoscopic photograph we \ notice that our sight does not rest on the \ surface of the card, but extends through it \ as through an open window. The two prints \ are joined together by the stereoscope and \ everything in the scene stands out in natural \ size and proper space relation. \ Copyright 1904 by Underwood & Underwood
