Ireland Stereoviews


Book Description

Stereoscopic, or 3D photography, works because it is able to recreate the illusion of depth. Human eyes are set about two-and-a-half inches apart, so each eye sees an image slightly differently. If one takes two separate photographs that same distance apart, with a suitable viewer it is possible to recreate that illusion of depth. Following the birth of photography in the early years of the 19th century, the first stereoscope was shown by Sir Charles Wheatstone in June 1838 at the Royal Scottish Society of Arts. Eleven years later Sir David Brewster described a binocular camera, and the first stereoscopic photographs were produced. This new book illustrates some of the best of the stereoscopic photographs taken from the middle of the 19th century.
