New Stereo Image book

[minieball]

I thought I would pass this on as it seems to contribute to our want of mid-19th century civilian material culture. While it is not the US, it does provide a unique glimpse into 1850's village life in Great Britain and in stereo.

I had a opportunity to see the book last week thanks to a friend who taught Brian May the wet-plate collodion photography process in London two weeks ago (it's due for release in the US in early 2010). The book comes with a stereo viewer to allow the reader to view the original stereo images as they we're intended.

Mr. Harrington,
Wow! I have not been to the forum lately, and to see this is so exciting. Thank you for sharing. The images are wonderful!

Wonderful images (I must repost this link in Books and Writers) and a thought...seriously, is there anything Brian May cannot do well?

Re: New Stereo Image book

Well as a postscript. Brian has asked my friends to come back next summer and reprise the original images using the original stereo camera (Brian owns it) used to to make the series. Naturally I told my friends; "You know....if you need an unpaid minion....."
