More than 200 old photos and maps involving the Charleston area and more of South Carolina are part of a new collection of 180,000 high-resolution digital images that have been released into the public domain by the New York Public Library. Above is a stereoscopic image — a 19th century version of an image that you could use special glasses similar to the more modern View-Master to get a 3-D image — of cotton drying on a roof of a warehouse in downtown Charleston in the late 1870s.
