About This Item
London: Frances Lincoln, 2010. 3rd Edition. A Fine Hardcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality.. From the 1856 stereo photo series by T. R. Williams "Scenes In Our Village." The author has painstakingly recreated these exquisite stereo photographs from the dawn of photography and will transport you to the lost world of an Oxfordshire village of the 1850s.
Using the viewer supplied with this book, the you can become absorbed in 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.
The book is also a detective story as the village was unknown except in reference as Hinton Waldrist in Oxfordshire 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.
