The Poor Man's Picture Gallery contains high-definition printed reproductions of well-known Victorian paintings in the Tate Gallery, and compares them with related stereo cards - photographs of scenes featuring real actors and models, staged to tell the same story as the corresponding paintings, all of which were the subject of an exhibition in the Tate Gallery in 2014.

Brian May is a founding member of Queen, a world-renowned guitarist, songwriter, producer and performer. Stereoscopy has been a life-long passion for Brian, and the first book he wrote on Victorian stereo photography, co-authored with Elena Vidal, and called A Village Lost and Found, was very successful. Denis Pellerin has been a teacher for over 30 years and interested in photography since the age of ten. He was bitten by the stereo bug in the 1980s, has been fascinated by Diableries for over 25 years and has written several books and articles on 19th century sterephotography for various magazines, institutions and museums. He graduated as an MA in Art History at the Sorbonne in 1999 and has since been specialising in French and British Victorian genre stereoviews.
