This painstaking excavation of exquisite stereo photographs, by Brian and Elena Vidal, from the dawn of photography, transports the reader back in time to the lost world of an Oxfordshire village of the 1850s. At the book's heart is a reproduction of T R Williams' 1856 series of stereo photographs Scenes In Our Village.

Using the Owl 3-D viewer supplied with this book, the reader is absorbed profoundly into a village idyll of the early Victorian era the subjects seem to be on the point of suddenly bursting back into life and continuing with their daily rounds.

Additional Information

The book is also something of a detective story, as the village itself was only identified in 2003 as Hinton Waldrist in Oxfordshire, and the authors' research constantly reveals further clues about the society of those distant times, historic photographic techniques, and the life of the enigmatic Williams himself, who appears, Hitchcock-like, from time to time in his own photographs. The product of more than 30 years research, the mixture of social, photographic and biographical detail is handled with admirable lightness of touch, belying the depths of scholarship which underpin this ambitious enterprise.
