Taxiphote Curiosities — Unusual Survivors of a French Icon

Taxiphote Curiosities — Unusual Survivors of a French Icon

Not every Tax­iphote fol­lowed the famil­iar design. From one of the very first exam­ples ever made to rare mech­a­nisms, unusu­al vari­a­tions, and an appar­ent pro­to­type, five remark­able instru­ments reveal a less­er-known side of Jules Richard’s famous stereoscope.

VSC Meeting, October 2026

This time we have two pre­sen­ta­tions that take us to very dif­fer­ent land­scapes and peri­ods in the his­to­ry of stere­oscopy. Andrew Lau­ren will explore how stereo­scop­ic pho­tog­ra­phy doc­u­ment­ed the open­ing up and devel­op­ment of the Grand Canyon, pre­serv­ing views of a land­scape and its ear­ly vis­i­tors that have long since dis­ap­peared. Gert-Jan Wolk­ers, mean­while, will bring us much clos­er to the present with his per­son­al approach to stereo pho­tog­ra­phy and 3D time­lapse, includ­ing recent work made in the Dutch dunes with com­pact dig­i­tal equipment.

VSC Meeting, February 2026

We are pleased to invite you to our next VSC meet­ing on Sun­day, Feb­ru­ary the 8th, fea­tur­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion by Vic­tor Lévy: Could stere­oscopy be part of a heal­ing process? After dis­cov­er­ing it by chance, Vic­tor Lévy found stere­oscopy played a key role in restor­ing vision once thought beyond repair, and in his talk he explores its chal­lenges, pos­si­bil­i­ties, and heal­ing poten­tial.
The meet­ing will also include time for Show, Tell & Dis­cuss, allow­ing par­tic­i­pants to exchange expe­ri­ences, ideas, and ques­tions relat­ed to stere­oscopy and vision.
We look for­ward to an engag­ing and thought­ful evening and hope many of you will join us.
