The First World War was the first truly global conflict which left
its mark on every nation of the world. Few communities or families
escaped its devastating reach with many mourning the loss of entire
generations. Those that returned often refused to speak of their
experiences and today we often see the same old images or newsreel
footage to give us an insight of the life experienced in the 'Great
War'. Stereo photography and stereo viewers had been something of a
craze for the Victorians, most of whom would never see for
themselves the magnificence of far off and exotic locations from
around the globe. Stereo photography was an amazing technology that
didn't just allow them to see a view but to immerse themselves in
that location as if they were there themselves. By the time of the
First World War many of the more affluent households would have had
a stereo viewer and some stereoscopic cards to keep themselves
amused. As the war began, a number of companies were already busy
capturing the world in stereo for the enjoyment and education of
their customers. As hostilities increased they scrambled to get the
best photographs to record the war. This book is a collection of
some of those photographs presented both as original stereo pairs
for those with a suitable viewer and as anaglyph images suitable
for viewing with the supplied glasses. They offer a unique
photographic journey through the war that documents its bloody
progression and allows us to glimpse first hand, a realistic view
only previously available to those that were there. (Please note
that it's important when viewing the images that the glasses are
worn with the Red lens over the left eye and the Blue lens over the
right eye).
