>From the book, _Amazing 3D_, on the Realist camera:

"The camera's most influential endorsement came some months later when,
in early 1952, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was pictured in "Life"
magazine gaily photographing with his Stereo Realist in Istanbul
[full page illustration in the March, 1952, "Life"].  Newspapers
around the country ran similar photographs, and in August "Fortune"
magazine printed a story about Eisenhower and his Stereo Realist,
and made prominent mention of the David White Company.  About five
hundred of Eisenhower's stereo slides--which document his days as
a general in Europe, the 1952 presidential campaign, and his White
House years--are now safely stored at the Eisenhower Library in
Abilene, Kansas."
