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

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".

Why I Love Amateur Glass Stereoviews: 7 Great War Slides from France

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.

Raumbild’s non-fascistic “Tiere aus aller Welt” (Animals from All Over the World)

Raumbild is most closely associated with Nazi propaganda produced between 1936 and 1945. But after the war, Otto Schönstein's images were much more benign - and I needed a break from heady stuff. So enjoy the lovely animal stereoviews of Tiere aus aller Welt!

Aus der Lebensgemeinschaft des Waldes – The German Forest in 3D

Aus der Lebensgemeinschaft des Waldes Header

Of all of the Raumbild albums created by the Nazi regime, "Aus der Lebensgemeinschaft des Waldes" might well be the most innocuous. Come take a stroll through the German forest - in 3D!

The Decline of the British Aristocracy: Exclusive Historic Houses in 3D

As the British Aristocracy fell into decline, they were forced to open the doors to their stately historic houses to the common person. Here's a look at some, from 1956 in VistaScreen 3D.

OS #35: Indigenous Peoples’ Day – Wheeler Expedition Zuni War Chief

I refuse to honor Columbus Day, as I have for decades. So in celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's a lovely portrait of a Zuni War Chief from Timothy H. O'Sullivan, primary stereographer on the Wheeler Expeditions.

Strasburg, PA: Went for the trains. Came back with stereoviews & a scythe.

My wife and I took an extended trip to Strasburg to ride behind the 611 - the last remaining Norfolk and Western J-Class locomotive. Then we spent three days antiquing in the Lancaster County area. To see some of my finds, read on...

Stanley Long’s Second-Rate 3D Pin-Ups: “A bevy of British Beauties”

Header for Stanley Long's Second Rate Pin-ups

After enough requests for more pretty ladies on Brooklyn Stereography, I must assent - so here are some mediocre cheesecake stereoviews from Stanley Long. I present VistaScreen Series 40 "Glamour Models No. 2 - A bevy of British Beauties", an obvious series of outtakes from the first Glamour Models series.
