It has 120 pages, with 12 b/w full page plates, thick bevelled boards with six recesses to hold the
150 original stereographs (2 2/7" x 5") of the Symbiotic Community in the Forest and the metal viewer.

The stereographs are depicting a broad range of the life in the forest. Including trees, plants in it's different
vegetation, moss, lichen, frog, toad, insects, snakes, mushrooms ... even a stag beetle is depicted,
which is exceedingly rare today in Germany.

The pictures are of course, double pictures, printed on photographic paper from a negative, and appear very realistic

“being there”. Each picture is numbered and has a complete description of the scene printed on the back.
