The View-Master system was introduced in 1939, four years after the advent of Kodachrome color film made the use of small high-quality photographic color images practical. Tourist attraction and travel views predominated in View-Master’s early lists of reels, most of which were meant to be interesting to users of all ages. Most current View-Master reels are intended for children.
These amazing View-Master slides from
Cindy Hammerquist show SuperStar Barbie in 1978.
“SuperStar Barbie sends her sister, Skipper, a ticket for a glamorous vacation among the stars. When Barbie realizes they haven’t had enough time alone, Barbie and Skipper go off on a camping trip together. Then Barbie gets into a dangerous predicament and there’s only Skipper to help.” (copy on back of package)
