"Exploring for the very first time the hidden relationship between
paintings and stereoscopic cards in Victorian times." The advent of
a new painting by a great artist was big news in the 1850s, but few
were able to access and enjoy directly the new works of art. Stereo
cards, created by enterprising photographers of the day,
reconstructed the scenes and gave an opportunity for the man in the
street to enjoy these scenes, in magical life-like 3D. The Poor
Man's Picture Gallery contains high-definition printed
reproductions of well-known Victorian paintings in the Tate
Gallery, and compares them with related stereo cards - photographs
of scenes featuring real actors and models, staged to tell the same
story as the corresponding paintings, all of which are the subject
of an exhibition in the Tate Gallery in 2014.

its proprietor Dr Brian May, will publish its first book on
fashion! In keeping with the magical and mysterious themes which
characterise this highly original, and quality driven publishing
list, our contribution to fashion literature is far from
conventional. Crinoline: Fashion's Most Magnificent Disaster is

and was itself responsible for the deaths of thousands - literally
fashion victims!
