Ometepe Landing Dock, circa 1900 (take 2)

A while back I posted an edited an enhanced digital copy pic of an old, nearly destroyed cardboard stereocard, from my personal collection. It can be seen here. I had done that without realizing someone else had posted that image, in fuller form, with a full dual-image and reverse caption, via a better condition stereo card, which can be seen here. This recent post by me is taken from a glass slide a friend acquired, and the quality is much higher, and the image cropped less. These old "glass lantern slides" are often priced under that of the paper stereo card, and can usually be found for only a few dollards in North America - even though they are often 10-20x that in Latin America (much like most historical stamps, coins, maps, musical recordings, antiques, books, etc.).
