Description
Paris: Amyot, 1861. FIRST EDITION. Wood engraved illustrations throughout. Original printed yellow wrappers bound into modern boards. Includes prospectus and subscription slip for La Blanchere’s forthcoming Répertoire Encyclopédique de Photographie. Unopened. First edition, a comprehensive treatise on the newly developed stereoscope, a technology whereby the viewer uses a two-lens device to see left and right images at the same time, creating a three-dimensional scene. This nine-part study covers the history of binocular viewing from Euclid to Brewster before discussing contemporary improvements and progress, theory, construction and materials, preparation of photographic slides, and applications. The final chapter suggests recently developed add-on lenses for further uses, such as microscopy. Although stereoscopes became obsolete in the early 20th century owing to improved photographic processes, they were in household use for both research and recreation for the last few decades of the 19th century. This monograph is an important snapshot of the pivotal technology that bridged the gap between the first photographs and motion pictures.

Description
United States, 1860. Very good. Toned with light spotting/dust soiling. Some discoloration from adhesive to underneath of the envelope tongue.. A scarce example of an unused illustrated Civil War-era cover (envelope) depicting a woman rummaging through her drawers and crying out, "I have no one to send--I'll go myself, and nurse the sick". The implication here is that the woman, who has no male child to send to support the war effort, will offer her own womanly skills as a nurse. A nice example of Civil War-era ephemera reinforcing gender roles, notions of patriotic duty, and women's work. Unused, measuring approx. 2.75" by 5

Small broadside; oblong - 6 x 9; large chromolithographed illustration and text to recto; verso with some residue from previously being affixed in a scrapbook; a tiny nick to bottom edge, else minor wear; in very good condition.

Some of its qualities were withstanding temperatures as low as 35 C below zero, resistance to mildew, and thin skin.
