Editorial Reviews

Review

"...it can only help to have the The World of Stereographs available to inspire and challenge another generation of stereo collectors and researchers." -- John Dennis, Editor, Stereo World

"...the standard reference...it remains the place where one starts when dealing with stereophotography." -- T. K. Treadwell, Past-President, National Stereoscopic Association


About the Author

William C. Darrah (1909-1989), by profession a botanist, geologist and author, was professor of biology at Gettysburg College. He "discovered" stereographs in 1943 while researching background for Powell of the Colorado, a biography of John Wesley Powell, the American geologist. His forty years of assiduous research of nineteenth century commercially produced card-mounted photographs resulted in the publication of Stereo Views: A History of Stereographs in America and Their Collection (1964), The World of Stereographs (1977), and Cartes de Visite In Nineteenth Century Photography (1981). These seminal works have become classics in the history of photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference book for the stereo view enthusiast, November 14, 2005
After all these years, Darrah's fascinating book remains one of the definitive resources for the serious collector of stereo views. Highly recommended.
-David Burkhart, author of Earthquake Days: The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire in 3-D.
