| Fonctions : | The Keystone View Company was launched in 1892 by B. L. Singley, an amateur photographer in Meadville, Pennsylvania. It was to become the largest publisher of stereoviews in the twentieth century. By 1940 more than 40,000 titles had been produced. Until 1897, Singley himself was taking all the photographs and the quality of the prints rather mediocre. After that date, he dispatched professional photographers throughout the world, including the Philippines. In 1909, the entire Kilburn stock of negatives was acquired by Keystone. In 1912, Keystone purchased the rights to several series of Underwood negatives and by 1915 the H. C. White Company had also transferred all its files to Keystone. In 1920 the Keystone View Company was the only major publisher of stereoviews, with offices around the World, including London, Paris, Sydney and Tokyo. It ceased regular production of stereoviews in 1939. When the company folded up, the stocks were kept for some time in the Meadville factory, and it seems that some of the better negatives were looted. |
