NEW EDUCATIONAL SERIES
Buffalo, New York
New
Educational Series was a line of fair quality copy views of
mostly United States scenery that proliferated during the 1890’s.
Issued from Buffalo, New York, two different series titles were
printed. One is the "Liberty Brand" and the other is the "American
and Foreign Views" series. There does not seem to be any
difference in the two, other than the series names. Their views
have been the subject of some confusion, due to the prominently
displayed "Sold by Canvassers" on many of the views. This tricks
some into believing that Canvassers was the name of the company.
In fact, this simply denotes that the views were only available
through canvassing salesmen. Unfortunately over time many of
these stereoviews have faded and the original titles are very
hard to read.
Yellowstone
is well represented by the New Educational Series.
At over 70 different Yellowstone photos, there is no "copy view"
company with more Yellowstone views. Almost without exception,
the images were purchased from
T. W. Ingersoll. However, at least
two geyser scenes were originally photographed by
F. J. Haynes. About half of the
Yellowstone views are numbered (still showing their original
photographers numbering), while the rest have titles only.
..1111. M. H. S. Hotel, 446 feet long.
This view of the National Hotel comes from
the American & Foreign Views series. This image is undoubtedly
a T. W. Ingersoll photo but does not
credit him. These views remain very common today, unfortunately
the quality is poor and fading is often the result.
..1132. Diana's Terrace-Jupiter terrace in distance.
The other style of New Educational Series
are the Liberty Brand views. This image of Diana Terrace like
the one above is most likely a
T. W. Ingersoll photo.
Grand Falls. Near view.
This particular photograph of Lower Falls
is identical to one that was part of
T. W. Ingersoll’s Blue
Letter "B" Series. It can be seen on Ingersoll’s page on this
website.
1161 Golden Gate Road, along the Canon.
This orange mount Liberty Brand view is
identical in publisher credit to those issued by
T. W. Ingersoll on tan mounts.
This view could have been shown on either page..
Tourists riding on Lower Canon Trail.
New Educational Series views were
sometimes color tinted. The quality however was not top
notch. Above is such an example.
Loaded 6 Horse Coach and Hotel.
Another example of a poor attempt at
color tinting. This view is of the front of the National hotel
at Mammoth. A popular subject among stereographers, as many of
them stayed there during their Yellowstone visits.
