This book is the perfect antidote to the stress of life in the 21st
Century. It portrays the idyll of life in an 1850s village, "far
from the sound of the train's whistle". The identity of the village
was lost to the world for 150 years, and only by a miracle does
this magical set of stereoscopic views survive, brought together
for the very first time by Brian May and his co-author,
photohistorian Elena Vidal. Their research is amazingly in-depth,
but the book is utterly readable, and the pictures leap into
glorious 3-D, viewed in the new focussing stereoscope which May has
designed and produced, to bring the stereos to life, and then fold
neatly into the slip-case of the book. The book gives an
extraordinary insight into everyday village life at the time - with
a woman at her spinning wheel, the blacksmith outside his smithy,
three men at the grind stone sharpening a tool, the villagers in
the fields, bringing in the harvest as well as often taking time to
enjoy a good gossip. In every case the original verse which
accompanied the view is reproduced. In addition, May and Vidal have
researched and annotated all the views, revealing another layer of
meaning, by exploring the history of these real characters, this
idyllic village and its links with the present day. The result is a
powerfully atmospheric and touching set of photographs." A Village
Lost and Found brings master pioneering stereographer T. R.
Williams's passionate life-work Scenes in Our Village to a new
audience - in glorious 3-D, as never before. For an Electronic
