As a fitting conclusion to the current LSC Book of the month promotion, photo historian Denis Pellerin, from the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy, will be giving a FREE 3D online talk, entitled “The Poor Man’s Picture Gallery: the Search goes on”, on Wednesday May 26th at 7.00 pm. Whether you have already got a copy of the book (we love you!) or have not purchased it yet (there is still time to visit our online shop !), there will be a lot to look at and learn in this colourful, entertaining and educational presentation.
Denis will examine the reasons that prompted the publication of the book in the first place and how all the original connections that are made in it between high art, popular art and stereoscopic photography, make it a unique volume that goes far beyond a simple survey of some of the best-selling Victorian stereo cards. Although the book was released some years ago, the search for more connections still goes on and the speaker will disclose some of the latest avenues he has explored and the numerous new links between paintings and stereo views he has discovered, and written about, since.
The images will be displayed side-by-side for parallel viewing. You can watch the whole presentation in 2D but if you want the 3D experience you need a Lite Owl, a Steampunk Owl, an Owl VR kit, or any other lorgnette-type viewer. If you haven’t got a viewer there is still time to order one from our online shop (https://shop.londonstereo.com/)
