Bridge of Sighs

So-called because the building on the left is a palace and that on the right is a prison. Crossing over the bridge was not nice! It was extensively stereographed, especially by Underwood. All these versions are different.

This is one of several early 1860s views on this page from the same series. The titles on a white label are in English, they are all numbered, and have a bold and light rule at the top and a light and bold rule at the bottom. Like this one they sometimes also carry a London Stereoscopic blindstamp. Thanks to Jeff for this additional information: 'All of these views with the paper label are from Alexis Gaudin et Frère. LSC used their blind stamp on views of other publishers that they sold as well as on their own views.'
