12201161658?profile=originalA new publication from Denis Pellerin and Dr Brian May of the London Stereoscopic Company will, for the first time, give a full account of the first thirty years of stereoscopy, an extraordinary scientific, artistic and social revolution that was started by Charles Wheatstone, Professor of Experimental Philosophy at King’s College London, before photography's announcement in 1839. 

In the words of Brian May "STEREOSCOPY - the Dawn of 3-D" - is the book I have dreamed of publishing since we resurrected the London Stereoscopic Company in 2006.

I12201162255?profile=originalt’s actually the most important book we have ever produced, because it chronicles the birth and first steps of what we now call 3-D – the very core of what we at the LSC proudly bring to the 21st Century. Denis Pellerin, probably the foremost stereo photography historian in the world right now, has made it possible, with his uniquely original research, to put the historical record straight in this book. It’s quite shocking that nobody has undertaken to tell this story in its entirety until now, and some of the revelations you will find in the book are in themselves shocking, because so many falsehoods have been perpetuated over the years about what actually happened."

Publication is scheduled for 10 November 2021 and will be supported by an online event at King's College, London, hosted by the British Library.
