| Commentaires : | A Stereographic image is simply a simultaneous double-image of the same subject that, when viewed through a stereoscope appears to be one three-dimensional photograph. Stereographs are made by a single camera with two lenses set about two and a half inches apart. The viewer places the stereograph in the wire slots in the holder and then looks through the two lenses, moving the holder back or forth until the single three-dimensional image is in focus. Stereography was of great importance in the mass production and distribution of images in the nineteenth century. The technique dates to the 1830's, but popular interest in the stereograph took off with improvements in photography and the development in Britain of a simple and easy-to-use viewer, which caught Queen Victoria's eye and the attention of the world when it was displayed at the 1851 London Crystal Palace. The growth of the industry from that point was nothing short of phenomenal. There were literally millions of different views available. Until techniques were devised late in the 19th century to reproduce photographs in newspapers and books, stereographs were the general public's major source of photographic images of the world. The three-dimensional feature, which makes their subjects almost jump out at the viewer, was obviously central to their mass appeal. Source: http://www.chicagogs.org/fire/media/pic0470.html |
