Did stereoscopists have any formal training?
Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Stereoscopist
Stereoscopists typically did not have formal training in the way that artists or photographers might. Many learned through apprenticeships or self-study, gaining skills in photography, optics, and image composition. Some may have attended workshops or courses related to photography, but the field was largely driven by personal experimentation and practical experience rather than structured educational programs.
