33082. Darrah, William Culp. THE WORLD OF STEREOGRAPHS. Gettysburg. 1977
- Darrah, William Culp. THE WORLD OF STEREOGRAPHS. Gettysburg. 1977. 246 p. DJ. Rare first edition. One of the more fascinating collectibles today continues to be early photography including stereographs. For the collector or professional, this book continues to be the “bible” on the subject. Intended as a survey and guide to stereographs, it considers them from four points of view: historical, geographical, topical, and by the photographers who produced them. Two checklists include: the names and locations of 3500 North American stereographers arranged alphabetically by states; and a world register of 4200 cited photographers giving the countries and approximate dates of activity, with references to the pages of the book on which they are cited. Three hundred illustrations of stereographs supplement the text. This book is “…the standard reference…it remains the place where one starts when dealing with stereophotography.” — T. K. Treadwell, Past-President, National Stereoscopic Association. The author’s forty years of assiduous research of nineteenth century commercially produced card-mounted photographs resulted in the publication of this and a number of subsequent works on the subject. Clean, crisp, near fine. A most detailed reference and almost impossible to find today. (VG+). $38.
