Product Information
This book is the perfect antidote to the stress of life in the 21st Century. It portrays the idyll of life in an 1850s village, far from the sound of the train's whistle . The identity of the village was lost to the world for 150 years, and only by a miracle does this magical set of stereoscopic views survive, brought together for the very first time by Brian May and his co-author, photohistorian Elena Vidal. Their research is amazingly in-depth, but the book is utterly readable, and the pictures leap into glorious 3-D, viewed in the new focussing stereoscope which May has designed and produced, to bring the stereos to life, and then fold neatly into the slip-case of the book. The book gives an extraordinary insight into everyday village life at the time - with a woman at her spinning wheel, the blacksmith outside his smithy, three men at the grind stone sharpening a tool, the villagers in the fields, bringing in the harvest as well as often taking time to enjoy a good gossip. In every case the original verse which accompanied the view is reproduced. In addition, May and Vidal have researched and annotated all the views, revealing another layer of meaning, by exploring the history of these real characters, this idyllic village and its links with the present day. The result is a powerfully atmospheric and touching set of photographs. A Village Lost and Found brings master pioneering stereographer T. R. Williams's passionate life-work Scenes in Our Village to a new audience - in glorious 3-D, as never before. For an Electronic Press Kit for A Village Lost and Found click hereProduct Identifiers

A "must see" if you have ANY interest in 3D.
A fascinating work, whether new to 3D or experienced in the technique. The author explains so clearly how he became involved with 3D and how this particulay collection of both historical and modern 3D photographs got put together. The book comes with a well designed view that makes it easy for those not used to 3D, to view the many photogrqphs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fascinating images from a by gone era.
Clever stuff considering photography was in it's infancy. The concept is just as relevant in today's photos as it is in the past photos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
