eclectech, 9 months ago to photography Visiting family and discovered they have a stereoscope and a batch of stereoscopic images from the late 1800s. Thoroughly enchanted by it and them. Going to get the scanner out to digitise the images properly (not just a snapshot on my phone as this one is). Excellent wee project for the autumn. #photography #stereoscope #stereoscopic #historical #history An example of a stereoscopic image from 1890, published by Strohmeyer & Wyman. It depicts a bedroom scene, with a man lying down staring to the right, looking dismayed. On the left is a stern looking woman wagging her finger at him. The text along the bottom reads "For heaven's sake, Maria, give us a rest!" Die gardinen-predigt (Nice bit of 130 year old casual sexism there.) The two images look almost identical when viewed side-by-side without the stereoscope.

tanquist, 9 months ago @eclectech What a treasure! I've been a fan of #stereoscopy since I got my first #ViewMaster in the late 1960s. I later bought a FujiFilm Finepix #3D #camera and have been having fun with it ever since. I think the #HolmesStereoscope like the one you've shown is still the best way to view 3D pictures. I made an #OpenSource #Windows app for manipulating digital stereo images and a paint.net template to make #stereograms. https://archive.org/details/stereogrammaker_202103 #photography #stereoscope #stereoscopic #software
