There seems to be some debate if his name was Stefan Glass or Stephen Glass. I've always gone with Stephen as that's how he was credited in all the magazines I've seen. It was also how several models referred to him. I guess after the war he used the anglicised version of his name.

I have just presented a talk to the UK Stereoscopic Society on Vistascreen, which was the UK answer to the popular US View-Master 3D system. (Now available on the YouTube channel for the Stereoscopic Society).
Unlike View-Master which was a family orientated product, the Vistascreen included several sets of tasteful images, Art Studies I, II & III and Glamour Models I, II & III in which the models were clothed, along with a series of 11 titles in the Miss Continentale (fully nude) sets.
In the early 1950s, prior to the launch of the Vistascreen system, The Capital paper Co., based at 16 Soho Square, London, produced a series of nude titles (not in 3D) which were sold by mail order, but I have yet to find any of their publications.
The main photographer for practically all of the 350+ sets of Vistascreen 3D pictures was Stanley Long, who after leaving Vistascreen in the 1960s went on the produce several of the better known "Sexplotation" feature films in the 1970s.
Does anyone have any info I can add to the early history and complete the story?
Looking for information on a photographer named Barnard, active circa 1920s - 1930s.
I'm looking for any information on the nude work of Colin Osman, former owner/editor of Creative Camera magazine (London). Can anyone help?
