Verso of mount with printed photographic gallery information: "Mr. & Mrs. Morris' New Series of Pacific Coast Views, 166 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, Cal." Birdseye Stereoview of Santa Cruz By a Female-Owned Photograph Gallery A very nice birdseye stereoview photograph of Santa Cruz.

Morris - the couple formed a partnership and the name of the business was changed to "Mr. and Mrs. Morris" and the operation was extended to include stereoviews of local landmarks.Interestingly enough, while blurring of the background seems to have been fairly common at the time - it was mostly accidental - the result of the nature of the lenses. Here, on the other hand, the blur effect appears to have been intentional - perhaps, as an early form of "pictorialism," where photographers actively used selective focus and soft-focus lenses to blur backgrounds to make photos look more like paintings, rejecting the sharp "mechanical" look of early photography.While "Mr. and Mrs. Morris" stereoviews and portraits occasionally do appear in the trade and are recorded (in the Palmquist Collection at Yale, etc.) - we have never seen one from Ella's earliest days as a photographer, before the partnership with her husband.…
