This is a very interesting chronological summary... It is striking to me
that it took a good 50 years from peak to decline for the stereo views.  50
years is a very long time... as much or more than one person's mature
lifetime.  In sharp contrast, it took Realist-format photography only 5-10
years from peak to decline (and much less for 3d movies.)  Why is this so?  

The Early years       1947
The Excitement        1950
The Peak              1952
Flooding the Market   1955
The Decline           1958
