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.

Eastbourne Model Village: Benjamin White’s Masterwork in 3D

An awful mood turned pleasant due to some of my VistaScreen 3D collection - most notably Eastbourne Model Village from the late 1950s.

Everybody knows that the plague is coming, everybody knows that it's coming fast... OK, that's just me ripping off Leonard Cohen during the CV-19 outbreak. But here, enjoy me taking the piss out of this homophobic holiday camp while you're holed up at home!

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

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.

Be Seeing You: Portmeirion, The Village from ITV’s “The Prisoner”, in 3D

Be Seeing You: Portmeirion, The Village from The Prisoner

Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself. So we're all going to wind up as prisoners in Portmeirion, the North Wales village designed by a mad visionary and used for the exteriors of "The Village" in ITV's 1967 sci-fi allegory "The Prisoner".

The Isle of Man: A Trip to 1950s Ellan Vannin in Stereoscopic 3D

Today we look at the Isle of Man, or Ellan Vannin as it's known to the speakers of its native zombie language, Manx Gaelg.

Worst in Show: VistaScreen Series 49 “Dogs” Really Screws the Pooch

We've looked at some great VistaScreen, some interesting VistaScreen, and some just plain silly VistaScreen on this blog. But here, we're going to look at the absolute dregs of VistaScreen - which also happens to be one of the most popular sets the company produced during its mid-period in the late 1950s.
