mrreality68 and vtgmsc, thank you! oldjudge, from my research I found that stereoviews began to take hold around 1857. The earliest ones were white or cream-colored with squared corners, which fits the description of this one. Also, Henry Anthony, who played for the Knickerbockers, owned with his brother Edward one of the most prominent photo businesses in the country, and they were way ahead of the curve when it came to the latest photographic developments. It's also possible that a previously-taken photo was made into the stereoview by taking a picture of that picture or using the negative process of that era.
