This book tells the astonishing and sometimes controversial story of the birth of STEREOSCOPY, the phenomenon we now call 3-D, which entranced Victorian society and is the great-grandparent of today’s VIRTUAL REALITY. Peering into a small, dark, magical box (a STEREOSCOPE!) an eager new audience in the 1850s was transported into another dimension. The immersive realism of 3-D beckoned to them to experience the far-flung wonders of the world without ever leaving their fireside. It was as if they were actually there amongst the Great Pyramids of Giza, or looking up at the Matterhorn, or standing in the rice fields of China. The book is bound in gold-tooled dark red faux leather with gilt-edged pages and a ribbon page marker Encased in a wibalin covered slipcase which also contains a gold coloured Owl viewer in its envelope Title: STEREOSCOPY - The Dawn of 3-D.
