Vintage 3D Stereo Realist Manual Book Hardcover First Ed 1954 w/ DJ & Viewer
______________________________________
Condition:
This first edition hardcover book... itself is in EXCELLENT condition. The binding is tight and there is no writing on any of the 400 pages - no yellowing of the pages, no tears, nor any folded pages. The hard to find Realist stereoviewer is included in the pocket in the back and is in perfect condition - many times, these are lost!
The original dust jacket... that came with this copy has long since gave its life to keep the book in the excellent condition that it's still in. If you've have ever looked for one of these books before, you will know that the dust jackets are almost always trashed. This book comes with a reproduction color dust jacket that was scanned from two different covers, then were painstakingly pieced together over several hours in Photoshop by my graphic artist friend. His attention to details was uncanny! It was then professionally printed on heavy stock at my local print shop. This reproduction jacket was then encased within a Mylar cover to insure that it will looks awesome for generations to come.
About the book:
This is the best written source for anyone who wants to learn how, or anyone who wants to learn how to better take 3D photographs. While it is made with references to the Realist camera, all of the information contained can be used with any 3D camera - from the early 1900 stereo folding cameras, to any of the 1950s stereo cameras, to the new digital stereo cameras now available. It is illustrated throughout with 3D stereo photos that can be seen with the included viewer.
It is written by Willard D. Morgan, Henry M. Lester, as well as 14 other leading 3D experts of that time period. As an avid 3D photographer myself, I wouldn't be caught without my copy. Somehow I ended up with a few extra copies which I want to pass on to help someone else who can discover the joy of 3D photography as I have done.
I have used this book as my handbook for anything I need pertaining to 3D photography.
Topics explored within are:
- 3D picture taking
- Composition in 3D
- 3D slide mounting
- Viewing and projection of 3D slides
- Portrait and fashion 3D photo taking tips
- How to use 3D photography in your business
- Underwater 3D photography
...as well as an overview about the history of 3D photography. There are also several other topics covered in the book and many hundreds of illustrations! Please see all of my photos especially the contents photo. I could have included so many other pictures of inner pages - there is so much good stuff in this book! Please email with any questions!
Thanks for looking!
