Stereoscopic Museum

The his­to­ry of stere­oscopy is longer than that of pho­tog­ra­phy and there are plen­ty of things to delight a collector’s heart. The fol­low­ing items belong to the Stere­oscopy Col­lec­tions Project launched by Pas­cal Mar­t­iné and André Ruiter. This part is curat­ed by Pas­cal Mar­t­iné and Mary Fri­argiu and rep­re­sents the first cen­tu­ry of stere­oscopy up to 1950, with a pref­er­ence for glass slides and their view­ing devices. They are such inge­nious and yet beau­ti­ful pieces of tech­nol­o­gy and art!
