This is another great View-Master book set from 1969:

Chinese Art by the Gruber Foundation

William Gruber, the inventor of the View Master 3-D system, was very interested in the world of early Chinese art. Around 1960 his interest was renewed when it was announced that the Imperial Collection of Chinese art was going to tour the USA.

He had tried to photograph similar objects before but was not happy with the colors of the then slow Type A Kodachrome produced under artificial light.

It was around this time that Kodak announced an updated version of Kodachrome with better color rendition and twice the ASA rating of the original. William Gruber knew that this was exactly what he had been waiting for and arranged to photograph the collection.

In addition he traveled to the UK to photograph various examples in public collections. Although Gruber died in 1965 his project finally came to fruition in 1969 when 1,260 of his 3D photos were published in this impressive 4-volume set, containing a total of 180 View Master reels!

From the Sheldon Aronowitz collection.

Everything, including the reels, is in excellent sealed, mint condition.
