Everyone should have this book - and the other one in the series, by Drouin "Stereoscope"

From the Introduction by David Starkman and Susan Pinsky

"When we first discovered this book, we had already been involved in 3-D photography for 15 years as photographers, publishers, and merchants, yet we had never heard of Theodore Brown nor his book. As we read the book, however, we began to feel more and more that this would be a book of great interest and value to modern stereo photographers and historians."

Yes, indddeed!

It is really an amazing stereoscopic book, considering that it was written in 1903. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in the history of stereoscopic imaging. Just see the Table of Contents (below) for the variety of subject discussed in this book. They range from stereoscopic cameras to a stereoscopic view of the eclipse of the sun!
