Ebay user "buglerjay" has informed me: "Everything says "Army," but the young man sitting on the ground eating from his meat can (mess kit) with the campaign hat on is clearly a Marine. That's the US Marine EGA (Eagle, Globe, Anchor) device on the front of his hat, and he has no branch-color hat cord that an Army soldier would have." "Mess Time Out on the Rifle Range of a Southern Cantonment." This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It was one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which had two lenses - simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures were then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image could then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer. Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches.
