Anonymous - A box of 6 x 13 cm glass views of Braga and Bom Jesus

The year is not indicated in this box (shown at right), but it had the same provenance as the 1922 box of Barcelos, and surely looks to be from around that date. All the images represent Braga, Bom Jesus or (presumably) the rural area in their vicinity. Many of them are not very interesting and show some repetition, typical in amateur views. However, some of them have an interesting stereo effect, particularly those that show the long staircase going up to the Bom Jesus church.

All the images are in glass as described below:

 
  6 x 13 cm (2.3'' x 5.1'') glass positives.
   
 
  A viewer for this type of images (similar to the viewers for Verascope images, but slightly larger).
