Header image for Remembrance Sunday 2022 post

In this year's Remembrance post, we remember the past by looking to the future - specifically, of the Jordan/Ference Collection, the world's largest publicly available archive of Great War stereography. See over 40 new images, and consider what they meant to the men who served.

Remembrance Day 2021: Colonials, Hospitals & Command by Cl. Gueidan

Remembrance Day 2021: Stereography by Cl. Gueidan

This year's Remembrance Day post focuses on the work of Cl. Gueidan, a stereographer who sold some of his non-stereo work to the Section photographique de l'armée. He had incredible access to High Command, but also focused on Marsouins (colonial marines), hospitals, and ruins, creating some incredible works in the process.

The Irving Theatre: VistaScreen’s rarest set shows London’s first strip joint

Header image for VistaScreen's "The Irving Theatre Set One"

The rarest, and today generally most expensive, VistaScreen set ever produced features The Irving Theatre, located on Irving Street in the West End. Far from what you'd think of when you think "West End Theatre", however, the Irving was London's first proper strip club - and it looks fantastic.

VistaScreen Halloween: Stereoviews from Betty Brimmer’s Puppet Theatre

Header image for Halloween Puppet Theatre post

Stanley Long set out to take some stereoviews of puppets for children to enjoy. Unfortunately he went to Betty Brimmer's Puppet Theatre, which is a thoroughly grotesque and ghastly place, full of misshapen ghouls, racist caricatures, and little girls who are soon to be bear food.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Wickenburg Massacre and White Perspective

Header image depicting Mohave Indians, taken on the 1871 Wheeler Expedition, during which the Wickenburg Massacre occurred

T.H. O'Sullivan's portrayals of Indigenous peoples are indisputably amongst the most lauded. But are they also problematic? Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day, and I will utilize this opportunity to examine the white perspectives that have pervaded our culture - through the lens of one of the "great stereographers".

Header image from an amateur glass stereoview

Long-time readers of Brooklyn Stereography should be unsurprised that I love amateur glass stereoviews. In this article, I use a set of seven received earlier this week to highlight exactly why.

Random European Glass Stereoview composite header image
