This early 20th century stereoview photograph (circa 1915) depicts the Old Witch House in Salem, Massachusetts, historically known as the ‘Jonathan Corwin House’. Built around 1675, it is the only surviving structure in Salem directly associated with the Salem witch trials of 1692. Jonathan Corwin, one of the magistrates who examined individuals accused of witchcraft, also resided in the house during the trials.
The stereoscopic format, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was designed to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. By the 1910s, images of landmarks such as the Old Witch House were widely circulated as historical and tourist souvenirs, reflecting Salem’s enduring association with the witchcraft trials.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Some discolouration to one corner and creases. Image is still strong.
